Description

This appeal presents questions concerning prison administrative policies that allegedly infringe upon free expression by, and the health of, the inmates. The questions are (1) whether the prisons policy on length of hair violates the First Amendment, and (2) whether the prisons refusal to comply with health-related provisions of state barbering laws creates a condition of confinement violating the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. A magistrate answered each question in the negative and dismissed the inmates petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal the district court eventually affirmed. Today, for reasons explained below, we join the district court in upholding the magistrates order. However, we clarify the order as it relates to the health issue and we remand the case for such further refinement as the magistrate may deem appropriate.
