Life Issues Facing Dreads
Segregation, isolation for dreadlocks in Virgina state prisonAssociated Press reports at least 48 inmates in Virginia jails are being kept in isolation because they refuse to cut their hair. More than a dozen of those inmates are Rastafarians, who grow their hair long as part of their religion.About 10 of those Rastafarians have been held in isolation for a decade.Inmates are being punished for failing to comply with prison rules. Virginias grooming policy requires inmates to keep their hair above the shirt collar and prohibits beards.Civil rights activists are demanding action, claiming that the policy violates the prisoners freedom to worship.Secretary of Public Safety Marla Decker recently ordered a count of inmates being held in isolation because of the hair policy, but officials say that doesnt mean the policy will changeIn addition to the Rastafarians, it is likely that Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Native Americans and others whose religious beliefs call for them not to cut their hair account for many of the inmates being segregated.AP reports Virginia is among only about a dozen states, mostly in the South, that limit the length of inmates' hair and beards, according to the American Correctional Chaplains Association. A handful of those allow religious accommodations for those whose religious beliefs prohibit cutting their hair. There is no hair policy for federal prisoners.

Homemade natural dread beads
General Talk
right, i tried to add you as well.
(hi by the way!)
id really love to have a home made bead from you. i think that its really cool what youre doing- it would be really neat to have a home made bead from a stranger sent across country then go buy one from a store.

s Tom's of Maine a recommended brand for dread shampoo?
It is the natural clear body bar that i bought, unscented
been using my buddies dreadhead hq bar when i needed to wash, but just got this so i had my own.
just makin sure its alright to use...
also, my dreads are coming undone. i realize they gotta do their own thing, but i feel theyre going back to their curly state every time they get wet and dry.
should i have a friend put some beads in some sectioned off hairs?
btw, decided to sell my moogfest tickets and go to a cheaper psychedelic electronic music festy with local and national artists called ROGUEFEST in the river arts district. its a campout, opposed to moogfest
check it!
