“Western USA Department of Corrections: Visiting Guidelines” in Same Faces Collective
Entering a Correctional Facility
Upon entering this facility, you are now subject to the same treatment as the prisoners. Expect side-eye and suspicious glares. We reserve the right to administer a thorough body pat down, possibly grazing a nipple and lingering at your crotch, as needed.
Once you enter our domain, you will pay for the fuck up of your loved one with your dignity. We are watching you and clocking every move, every look, what you say, and how you say it. It's the middle school cafeteria all over again, and we are the coolest girls in school. Instead of looking to see if you are wearing the right shoes or brand of jeans, we are watching to see if you are slipping drugs, contraband, hope, or sexual favors to the prisoner you are visiting.
