Off topic, but I realllly want to be the president of a jelly bean factory.

Or demand they vomit. You might be able to find partially digested jelly beans in their puke. If those guards get their rocks off on humiliating someone like that, they should be the ones locked up. I wonder what the inmates have to say about those shit-heads.

Also, if she's hiding drugs in tampons, it's still VERY possible to have extra drug tampons while you're bleeding so it's not liker her being on her period solves that issue. Also, doesn't everyone carry extras just in case? Like literally, every woman?

I imagine it is like LIVING in the airport TSA checkpoint with no happy destination and no Starbucks in sight, just being harassed and bullied by some high school bully who barely completed his GED, squeezed into an ill fitting uniform, except you're not a suspected terrorist you're a proven "terrorist" so there's not…

The only thing I can think is that it's a place to hide drugs or other contraband? So then much like a large bottle of liquid at the airport, JUST MAKE HER TOSS IT! Or open it and check it for suspicious content and then toss it! But "we're going to look into your vagina for menstrual blood"... it's like accusing…

I read the suit. She is going after all individuals involved personally. As in, kids, sorry we have to move into a cardboard box, but we abused a woman and her civil rights. Public officers usually enjoy limited immunity, but this is a privatized entity, so... I hope she wins a staggering award to set an example…

And I can't be the only one who uses pantiliners after sex. There are so many reasons, and no one needs to justify or explain them to ANYONE. That's so inappropriate.

Hopefully a judgement in the amount of "enough to make running a privatized prison business no longer a profitable venture".

What really really extra terrifies me about this story is that this was the treatment given to a visitor. If this kind of inhuman, misogynist fuckery was allowed with a visitor I can't even begin to fathom the shit that some of the female prisoners go through on a daily basis, above and beyond serving time.

This was my question! If my boss came up to me and said "say, can you take that stranger into the ladies room and make sure her vulva is bloody?" I'd quietly pull off my badge and whistle as I walked away.

And the security risk of carrying a pad if you are not actually menstruating is.....?

I would think she should be just as appalled by being told to look at some woman's used pad too.

Jesus motherfucking tap dancing Christ on a goddamned cracker. There are no goddamned words except motherfucking curses. Shit.

Preemptive shout-at to anyone who'd use that bullshit line: People in prison have families. It's punishment enough that their families can't be with their father/brother/husband, etc. — but to be straight-up afraid to visit them because of the guards? What the fuck?? And hell.. what's to stop them from doing this to a…

Normally when someone details you until you show them your vagina, it is kidnapping and sexual assault.

Ugh, I totally thought the title referred to showing them a used pad or tampon. Having to have a female guard look at your vagina to see you're menstruating is ridiculous.

LOL!!

So right after a shitty break up this summer I hit up an old booty call from OKCupid. He was really cool, but the sex. Oh god.

This ballerina dude who was in charge of "gospel dance" at his new age-y church. When we were done, he rolled off, and put a handmade hemp bracelet on me with five different colored beads.

A Juggalo. I would elaborate but I don't really think that's necessary.
