the laws of the US DO take faith into consideration. federal prison code says he can keep his kes.
HOWEVER, the jail in FLORIDA says his turban is a safety issue, so they cut his kes. note that the governor of Florida is the dumber younger brother of George Bush, so it's not too surprising that he doesn't care about non-christians' religious requirements.
this is the same state that was refusing to give drivers' licenses to Sikhs because they said you can't have any head covering in your license photo.
they're a bunch of red-neck idiots down there, apparently.
