• holding that the FLSA does not apply to a civil detainee committed as a sexually dangerous person under Massachusetts law
• holding that prison’s hair grooming regulations did not unlawfully violate inmates’ First Amendment rights
• concluding at the judgment-on-the-pleadings stage that there were no unfair-competition concerns because “the Treatment Center does not operate in the marketplace and has no business competitors”
