Lady guards at Virginia’s male prisons may now pat down and participate in strip searches of male inmates. The change in policy was forced by the inmates' ability to acquire contraband at a prison where the majority of correction officers are female.
A Virginia Department Corrections spokesman said male guards conducting similar searches of female prisoners are still considered “inappropriate" and beyond “professional boundaries” and would remain prohibited.
Inmates are complaining about staff violations. Former prisoner Alex Marshall said that while incarcerated female guards would make an effort to observe him in the shower, which he found offensive.
