How to conduct a strip search in prison

To recap:

• Keep in mind, you're ordering a naked person to obey you.
• Capsules, containers, and even small hacksaw blades have been found in the nasal passages.
• Narcotics, stabbing instruments, notes, wire, and money have all been found taped to the soles of the feet or under the toes.
• Observe any constricting of the rectal muscles, which may indicate the inmate is straining to retain something.
• If you have any suspicion, ask the inmate to squat and cough deeply, which could dislodge it.
• You're not authorized to make any intrusion into the inmate's body orifices.
• Remember: Do not deviate from what is appropriate and professional.
