Woman judge discovers that female arrestees are frequently denied pants, feminine hygiene products
When a woman whoâd been arrested for failing to complete a diversion course stemming from a shoplifting charge was brought before Louisville, KY judge Amber Wolf with no pants on, the judge was horrified to learn that the arrestee had been held in custody for three days without a shower, without access to feminine hygiene products, and without pants.
The judge demanded that the woman be clothed, and also that an explanation be provided. She apologized profusely to the arrestee, and assured her that this was not usual in the systemâs jails. Then the woman informed the judge â to her mounting horror â that there were many other women in the same situation at the jail.
