Jail: it's no fun anymore

I figure being in jail has got to suck, but now, in the Cincinnati area, it's more repressive than ever. I mean, check out what these fascists are requiring of the visitors:
Officials say visitors to a southwest Ohio jail can't wear plunging necklines, Spandex or see-through garb. The Hamilton County jail said the new dress code also requires guests to wears shirts, shoes and underwear.

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Barnett said the dress code has become a problem in recent years. He says the rules are in line with visitor dress codes at state prisons.

[...]

The new rules also require visitors to keep their pants on their waists, bellies covered and upper thighs concealed. Guards will send visitors home if they think the clothing is too revealing.
I wonder how they're going to check to make sure people are wearing underpants. That would seem to be a job that would be at turns very interesting and extremely repulsive.
