Target: The Governor of Virginia

Petition text:
We, the undersigned petitioners, object to the VDOC DOP#864 "Hair Policy" as it is currently applied against Rastafarian inmates. We find that it is a violation of both Rastafarian human and religious rights, and call upon the Governor of Virginia, and the State and Federal Courts to compel the VDOC to cease and desist enforcement of this policy and make religious exemptions for Rastafarian inmates.
