Father Says Cut Off Son's Head vs His Hair

St. Lucie, FL (AHN) - Satnam Singh is an illegal immigrant who is currently serving time in an Ohio federal prison on a passport crime, but he is about to be sent to Florida to serve additional charges where he will receive a haircut against his religious beliefs.

The Florida state penal code requires any incoming male prisoners to receive short haircuts and a close shave.

This is totally against Singh's religious beliefs. As a devout Sikh, cutting his hair would separate him from God. His father stated that he'd rather have the authorities cut off his head than to to cut off his hair.

Singh is sheduled to be moved to the St. Lucie County, Florida jail for other charges that include identity fraud. The county sheriff promised not to cut his hair.

However, when he gets incarcerated into the Florida state prison shortly thereafter, he will most likely be given a haircut by force if necesary, contrary to all his efforts to fight the system.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....maybe he should have thought about this BEFORE he broke our laws?
