Soon after arrival in any prison, you are told to get completely undressed: 

THE STRIP SEARCH..... 

​

After you take off all your clothes, which is done in stages, you will be carefully and professionally checked for contraband in any part of your anatomy. This is for everybody's security.

The running order of this procedure varies:-
 

​

A facial only "mug shot" is taken.....

Footwear and socks removed.

Jeans or trousers off. Searched. 

Underwear, at this stage, still on.

Shirt and/or 'T' shirt-vest off. Searched.

Finally..... underwear off.....

Full body search

​

• Head, facial, mouth and dental inspection.

• Neck, chest, arms, abdominal, back, buttocks, and legs inspection.

• Inspection under feet.

• Birthmarks, scars, any injuries, tattoos and piercings are inspected.

In itself, it's immaterial whether you're 18 or 80, or somewhere in between!    

We always carry out equality.....

and that includes both gender and sexual orientation..... 

"When I Strip Search a guest, it's with the equal Respect, I'd want, and mostly had myself".....- Nick Osbourne, Governor

The last time, I got strip searched was at Amsterdam [Schiphol] airport, after my arrest following an allegation by KLM, that I willfully breached their Corona orders, which I will defend in the Haarlem/NL. court on 27.1.22, and - if need be - beyond.
Outside the airport police station, I was body frisked and then, in front of a young guy who had been arrested for something else, had to lower my suit trousers and the underpants I have now marked with the police inspection number.
THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE KLM CREW AND THE DUTCH POLICE WAS A TOTAL DISGRACE!
