To See Their Clients In Jackson County's Jail, Attorneys Now Must Remove Their Bras [View all]

New security measures at the Jackson County Detention Center are causing some controversy after female attorneys complained they are required to remove their underwire bras in order to enter.

In a tweet Monday, Jackson County Sheriff Daryl Forté called this "misinformation," saying that "no one was asked to take off underwire bras."

But attorney Laurie Snell told KCUR that she had to take her bra off to pass through a metal detector to see a client on Friday. After setting off the alarm a few times, she said she removed her jewelry and glasses, but it still went off.

"I said, 'Well, there's nothing else. There's no other metal except my underwire bra.' And he said, 'You have to pass through security,'" Snell said.
