Reforming Strip Search Protocols in Prisons: Challenges, Standards and Solutions

Author(s) Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Country India
Abstract In prisons, the practice of strip searches is a contentious method employed to uncover contraband and maintain safety. While these searches aim to curb the trafficking of firearms, narcotics, and other unlawful items, they also give rise to critical concerns regarding their ethical ramifications, the invasion of inmates' privacy, and the psychological distress they may inflict. This review delves into the possible psychological repercussions, alongside the dual role of strip searches in enhancing prison security. The legality of such practices varies across different jurisdictions, highlighting the need for stringent protocols to ensure they are conducted lawfully and without excessive intrusion. The review underscores the psychological effects of strip searches, which may include enduring issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, particularly for vulnerable populations who have previously faced trauma. It stresses the delicate balance between security demands and the respect for human dignity in light of legal and ethical considerations. Moreover, alternative methods - such as body scanners - are evaluated as potential solutions that could uphold security while reducing the need for invasive searches. To promote equity, compassion, and adherence to international human rights standards in strip searches, this review advocates for necessary reforms.
Keywords Strip search, alternative approaches, human dignity, legal issues, privacy, psychological effects, contraband identification, correctional institutions, and prison reform.
