It seems to me its obvious. What prevents you from taking a photograph before he grows the half inch beard . Which can then be distributed to Police Departments if he escapes . I agree, your honor. There are its not an evidentiary matter at all. The point ...

Within the prison though is an evidentiary matter on this record. And let me get to that because its very important to understand this in our prisons unique environment. Shaving a beard can enable an inmate to get into an area where hes not supposed to be in.

If we want to shape a world order based on cooperation and respect instead of competition and confrontation. And already the events o...
