US journalist ordered to change clothes after being told skirt too short to witness execution
Ivana Hrynkiw Shatara was left "embarrassed" and "uncomfortable" after being told her outfit violated the prison dress code when she arrived for the execution of Joe Nathan James Jr at William C Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama.
A journalist was forced to change her outfit while attending the execution of a death-row inmate in Alabama after prison officials said her skirt was too short.
Ivana Hrynkiw Shatara, managing producer for website AL.com, says she was also told her open-toed shoes were too revealing by a member of staff at the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC).
Ms Hrynkiw Shatara was stopped as she arrived at the media centre at William C Holman Correctional Facility in the city of Atmore and told her outfit violated the prison dress code.
She visited the prison on 28 July to cover the execution of Joe Nathan James Jr, sentenced to death for killing his ex-girlfriend, Faith Hall, 26, in 1994.
In a statement shared on Twitter, the journalist said she had worn the same skirt to previous executions and other professional events "without incident", adding: "I believe it is more than appropriate".
"Tonight, a representative of the Alabama Department of Corrections told me publicly I couldn't view the execution because my skirt was too short," she wrote.
"At 5'7", and 5'10" with my heels on, I am a tall and long-legged person.

She's worn the same skirt to "other executions".
When it's time to admit you have a death fetish.
It's fine for Betty Lou to get porked and pregnant at 16 but gawd forbid the jounalist show some leg.
We'd have to see pictures to get the whole story, surely those must be forthcoming.
Weird, i think this is was more a prison sicko thing and Alabama politician sicko thing vs Alabama people at large.
Very ok with showing buttcheeks, legs and ties among the general public and showing good old hospitality as long as you're not dark. Even then there is this weird code where they can be very friendly with dark skins but way against inter marriage. Like you can get close but not too close.
Many fine folks in Bama.

Ivana Shatara barred from Alabama execution for ‘too short’ skirt
In Alabama, the jail guards are also the fashion police. (
A reporter in the southern state says she was forbidden by prison officials from covering an execution Thursday night because they said her skirt was too short.
Ivana Hrynkiw Shatara, a video news producer for AL.com, claims she was told by a Department of Corrections that her outfit was “inappropriate” and “too revealing” as they barred her from joining other journalists in viewing the lethal injection of convicted killer Joe Nathan James, she tweeted Friday.

Looks like this needs updating to modern times...
Having a split/slit that extends past the knees is definitely Southern chick.
It's like church for them
Need to modernize execution shows.
"open-toed shoes were too revealing by a member of staff at the Alabama Department of Corrections"
This one looks definitely made up in light of the rules above?
Exactly. Unless they're trying to avoid executing an inmate with a smile.
Basically people break/ignore rules and then post to social media how they were wronged because they did it before and no one said anything, even though it's clearly posted.
That's why I laughed at Alabama specifically. Those rules for executions sound like the middle ages, but it's exactly what you expect from an ass backwards state like that one.
From an easily searchable website
Once at a prison, it’s hard to get through security. Things I’ve personally been busted for are: a quarter in my pocket, plastic buttons on my turtleneck, and, I you not, walking too heavily through the metal detector. I committed these particular infractions at the first prison I ever visited, Massachusetts Correctional Ins ution – Norfolk. Norfolk, as it’s called colloquially, is a medium-security prison roughly 22 miles southwest of Boston. There, when you set off the metal detector, all the people who are visiting at the same time as you must wait while a CO brings you to a private room. Alone with the CO, you are told to unhook your bra, presumably so that anything hidden inside will fall out. For the same reason you are to turn the elastic on your underwear inside out. The CO wands you and pats you down. When this happened to me I was scared, not knowing how invasive the search would be. I also felt guilty because my search delayed about a dozen people who had limited time to visit their incarcerated friends and family. At Norfolk I started tiptoeing through metal detectors, and I retain this habit ten years later.
Teaching in prisons presents its own complications. I’ve been forbidden from bringing in standard tools of my trade such as staples, paper clips, and pens that aren’t transparent. I spoke with Arminta Fox, who used to coordinate classes that brought together students from Drew University and Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in the New Jersey prison. She told me that she and others had been busted for bringing in spiral-bound notebooks, pens with springs in them, and the poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou.
Over and above all of these things, the dress code is, for me, the most difficult thing to negotiate. Each facility has its own list of rules about what you can wear. I’ve always found the lists to be overwhelming. For example, when picking out something to wear on your bottom half at Norfolk, you have to make sure that it does not have metal, holes, excessive pockets, or drawstrings, that it is not too tight or too baggy, sheer, revealing, transparent, layered, wraparound, bibbed, camouflage, ripped, torn, missing buttons, spandex, worn for exercise, at all similar to what people who work or live in prison wear, at all similar to what gang members wear, or more than three inches above the knee. Also please be sure that you don’t wear “wind pants” once you find out what wind pants are.
Pretty sure that's normal prison regs. Too bad SBM isn't here to give us the latex glove details before calling us pussies and gots.
That was a teacher going into a prison, not a journalist going to an execution.
It makes more sense when you're looking for contraband, etc (though the short skirt and open toes policies are still questionable, IMO).
they adore killing knitters, it's a Confederate virtue
Boos a cyber stalker.
Too much shoulder in that pic for Alabama
Fabbs will be here shortly to rate her, tbh
Need to see full body shot.
