Description
Daniel Vasquez, the Warden of San Quentin Prison, appeals from an order enjoining enforcement of restrictions on the right of prisoners to possess and wear certain items of civilian clothing. We hold that the right to wear clothing of ones choice is a protected liberty interest under the substantive due process guaranties of the Fourteenth Amendment. We conclude, however, that the restrictions are not an unconstitutional infringement on the right of prisoners to self-expression through clothing choice, nor do they violate the prisoners statutory rights under Penal Code sections 2600 and 2601. Accordingly, we vacate the order.
