Will I be strip searched? If yes how?

I will be starting my 3 year prison term in 10 days. Will I be strip searched? If yes how?

If you going to a female prison you are strip searched when you enter for 1st time, after each contact visit with your family, each time you leave your unit for any reason and whenever COs decide to strip search you for “security reasons”.

It's a very humiliating experience. You will be told to strip completely naked. Then you will be told to remove any clips/bands from your hair. You will then have to run your fingers through your hair and flip it over to see your hairline. You will also have to lift your arms and breasts and then squat and cough. No you will not have to endure a cavity search. Prison guards aren't authorized to perform those, only medical personel.

Most of CO’s are quite professional but some have fun humiliating prisoners. They make you squat for several minutes saying “This isn’t a good squat” or “I don’t like your cough! Do it again!”

Good Luck!!!

Do you know if toilet is privet?

I have been told that there is no doors its open and everybody can see you. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to do this to people and I hope its not the case.

Are male guards allowed to strip search female prisoners, even if female officers are available?
