Jail Imposes Dress Code for Visitors

[Champ]

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Guards at the St. Joseph County Jail are doing double duty as fashion police, enforcing new regulations that prohibit visitors from wearing scanty attire.

The new rules are on a sign posted at the jail entrance, the South Bend Tribune reported Tuesday. See-through tops, mini skirts and short shorts are out, and underwear is required to remain invisible. Hats also are banned, since they can be used to smuggle items into the jail or may be a gang emblem.


"A lot of people have gotten away with inappropriate clothing in the past. Hopefully this will prevent it," said Keith Rininger, director of inmate services at the jail.


Warm weather brings out more bare skin, but sometimes visitors bare even more, officials say.

These POLICE/JAILER idiots get a thrill out of enforcing their stoopid rules
