The ACLU of Florida supports HB 49 and SB 332: Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act.
It requires correctional facilities to provide incarcerated women with necessary feminine hygiene products, including tampons, sanitary napkins, toothpaste, and no-lye soap at no additional cost.
The proposal would also restrict male correctional facility employees who work in women's facilities from conducting pat-down searches or body cavity searches on incarcerated women or entering spaces where incarcerated women are in a state of undress.
