Document Summary
Result: rfra was deemed unconstitutional and rluipa was enacted with the purpose of: maintaining good order, security and discipline, consistent with consideration of costs and limited resources: we can maintain good order by preventing prisoners from changing their looks through beards, preserving good hygiene, and maintaining consistency throughout prisoners, we can enforce security by making it easier for prison guards to track prisoners by consistent appearance and not put lives at unnecessary risk (i. e. the barber, we can minimize costs and preserve limited resources by not taking pictures every time a prisoner"s look changes and inspecting beards, We conclude: adc"s grooming policy protects prison safety and security (by reducing chances of prisoners having access to contraband or changing identification), which are compelling governmental interests, the medical exception does not prove that adc"s no beard policy fails to serve a compelling gov. interest, and adc"s grooming policy is the least restrictive means of furthering gov. interest.
