Strip-searching has been a very large issue that we have begun to really try to address this year. Certain prisons are engaging in mandatory strip-searching after all PFVs—private family visits—and all escorted temporary absences out to programs, to church, and to work releases. Essentially, women are engaging in programming that they must engage in for their correctional plan to move toward successful release and, as a result, when they are returned to the prison, they are being strip-searched.
That's happening on a mandatory basis at Grand Valley prison for women. We've been trying to challenge that since September at least, and definitely before then. The same issue is happening at EIFW, absolutely. I spoke with one woman who, because of the level system, was strip-searched every time she returned after being brought off the max unit to engage in programming that was dealing with trauma or the issues that led to her incarceration in the first place.
