Ok, so here is my take on this. 1. A holding cell is not a jail is not a prison, and each should have rules catered to it's specific environment. Authorizing strip searches for failure to follow a leash law, or speeding, is excissive. 2. the guy shouldn't have been arrested, the fine was paid, he should have been suing for unlawful detention or something, not for having been strip searched. 3. Our corrections system is broken. The fact that some of you so readily accept contractors on prison staffs is unusual to me. Outsourcing government control is a horrible idea in my view. 4. We jail far to many people in this country. Non-violent drug related charges, child support issues, come on going to jail over a leash law or not having a bell on your bicycle? Thats insane. We jail more people per capita than any other nation in the world. yet we claim to be the bation of liberty? That's ridiculous. In short, yes, jails and prisons need to be able to safeguard personnel and inmates. So I can see where strip searches would be useful. However as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't see the inside of a jail or prison until and unless convicted. That's what holding cells are for. We need drastic legal reform. The corrections industry is just that an industry. People are getting rich off of it in this country, and that leads to abuses. Also the government is butting in where it should have no business (local, state and federal are all guilty of it). You may be denied your rights under due process of law. Supposedly due process should have been followed to incarcerate you in the first place, so therefore your rights may be ignored.
