Prison guards in Virginia convinced an 8-year-old girl she couldn't visit her father for Thanksgiving unless she allowed them to strip search her. Warning: This is a story that will get you riled up.
Prisons are notorious for coercive behavior, but this was not an inmate. The very idea of this happening to a child makes my blood boil.
Do you believe that corrections officers should be able to coerce children into invasive searches to prevent potential contraband from entering prisons? What is your reaction to this story? Let me know in the comments.
Even with the system in place, we've seen how predators operate without fear of repercussions. If you think this is bad, wait until there is no system.
