Male prison strip searches

Now a grumpy officer was telling me to strip for her and numbly I complied. I know the drill. Pick up bottom of feet , open mouth and move tongue up and down, pick up breasts, bend over run fingers through your hair, pull your ears forward, bend over and spread your butt cheeks then open your vagina lips. Everything in life is a choice. Hope that answers your question. I suppose this is the ultimate humiliation, especially for a woman of my age and dignity. Turn your head left flip your ear forward.

I had this experience in mind when I read about the women in Alabama's Julia Tutwiler Prison last week. The group of three -- year-old Caprice Halley, year-old Tevin Ford and year-old Robert Douglas, who was since killed in a shooting -- were subsequently searched for drugs and one of the men was forced to strip naked in a nearby gangway, the lawsuit claims. The woman carried the baby to term and gave birth in prison, where she remains today, serving out the remainder of her year sentence for acting as an accessory to robbery. The DA allows the prison officials — the very ones overseeing the guards — to conduct the investigations. I arrived during lunchtime and the atmosphere was lively. Those imprisoned at Tutwiler live in fear of the men who guard them. But it wasn't until August that the government began to audit facilities for compliance.

For women whose home is prison, the authorities seem bound to uphold that tradition. Only a week after the Department of Justice released its findings on Tutwiler, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released a report that shows sexual abuse has risen by 11 percent throughout all prisons in the nation since Those imprisoned at Tutwiler live in fear of the men who guard them. Following the state's apathetic response to the findings, the rate of assault accelerated, as BJS's statistics updated in reveal.
