1 week agoStained panties, male guards and no privacy: what it's like to have your period in prison
It truly is a man's world, even in a women's prison. In an environment where nothing is private, even the most basic aspects of personal care become luxuries. For incarcerated women, managing a menstrual cycle is not just a routine part of life it is often a monumental struggle. I have been incarcerated for 15 years. The last three have been spent at Eddie Warrior correctional center, a minimum-security prison in Oklahoma.
