Lawsuit Over Beards

Re “Lawsuit May Force Change in Prison Ban on Beards,” Oct. 7: Why not put the guards in the prison cells and let the convicts run the prisons? I always thought that when convicts went to prison, they lost some of their rights. It’s suppose to teach these bad girls and guys a lesson. Now that an appeal for these prisoners is before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the guards better pack it up and get out the beard trimmers for the inmates, for surely this liberal court will grant the inmates’ requests, regardless of the safety issues.
