They are all locked up the same place in most jails(priors and non and in that they are all suspected until proven guilty) and can interact that means that they will have chances to exchange contraband.Drugs in particular are very valuable to gangs inside prisons and jails.An organized criminal syndicate can easily find people that have no serious past and get them to get arrested for a minor crime in order to get inside a lock up if they know that certain types of people will not be searched then that person will meet his or her contact and exchange the contraband and it just into the system scot free and they will pay the slope for their services.Next you have guys that have been busted for parole violations and have been in prison and will be going back they will take advantage of no searching policy and have some slope buddy of theirs get into the lock up and then more contraband. You can not even fully trust the corrections officers which is why people are always searched when they have been moved outside the facility in particular.
What they do is look at your anus to see if anything has been "kiestered" because it will be plainly visible and they tell you to squat down because if you have a blade up there you can not do this without hurting yourself.
If you are over 30 and have had physical from a doctor you got much more violation than a prison gets during a "strip" search.Yes it sucks because if you go to jail charged or not you might get it done but it has perfectly understandable reasons for being done.Hell I would feel worse for the guy having to look up my ass than having my ass looked at to be honest.
What Haplo suggests would cost billions of dollars because every single lock up in the country would need to be modified and who knows how much it would cost jails and prisons if the court had gone the other way because it would result in a massive spike contraband which would result in more violence thanks to a flood of weapons and drugs into the system.Not to mention it would not completely prevent the chance of exchange as there are always corrupt guards to aid in transfer.I agree with Platypus on this one;
"My opinion:
If a prisoner accused of a minor crime can be housed in separate facilities or even released from custody on bond, there is no need for a naked search.
However, if circumstances dictate that the prisoner accused of a minor crime will be housed either in general population or in a circumstance where he or she will have contact with the general population, then I believe that they need to be processed like any other prisoner in general population. This is not only for contraband but also for the medical and identification purposes listed above."
There is a separate area for those waiting trail it is called jail.Some wino sissy got upset the guy had a lot of previous convictions so he was not a 1000% innocent person anyway some jerk lawyer just gave the idea to sue for something that really is not all that bad and actually is done with the safety of those in the jail in mind and is less invasive than a physical from a doctor
boo freaking hoo take it like a man if you are innocent you will be proven so the experience will build character and you might find out that you have hemorrhoids or another aliment for free.Of course they do not stick any fingers in so they cant tell you if you have hernia or bad prostate if it bugs you that bad fart in the dudes face that is fighting the power."You are violating my rights sir in the spirit of Thomas Jefferson I release flatus in your general direction." Take that to the supreme court of gas.
The "shot" heard round the world.
sorry for the typos I am no professorial cartoonist and made that in roughly 2 minutes.
