NASHVILLE, Tennessee – –<\/p>\n

A woman visiting an inmate at a privately-run Tennessee prison said guards forced her to expose her genitals to prove she was menstruating, when she tried to take a sanitary ‘napkin’ into the facility, according to a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, claims her constitutional rights were violated when \u2013 after clearing one security checkpoint \u2013 guards noticed the sanitary napkin sticking out her pocket. A guard asked about the \u201cfeminine sanitary napkin\u201d<\/em> in her pocket, and the woman said she needed it because she was menstruating.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, the guard insisted she be searched to prove she was menstruating. The woman offered to leave the prison or leave the pad behind. She even offered to show the guards her used menstrual pad. However, they insisted she had to be searched, or she would have forfeit visiting the prison again.<\/p>\n

The woman says she was instructed to go into a bathroom stall, drop her pants and underwear, and allow a female officer to inspect her genitalia.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit <\/a>claims that the woman was not free to leave and that prison\u2019s visitor policy at the time stated: “Any visitor refusing a search of any type may be permanently restricted from visiting.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
