How to dress for an execution

[Slacker]

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but if you agree (as you seem to) that a man would be bounced for a similar misstep re: couture (and I think you're right) ... what's sexist about it?

Let's send in Rachel Levine and find out.

It was a conjugal execution

Was not a good idea to wear them when covering the Buccaneers during the John McKay era.

Was he in favor of shorts as much as that other little issue?

I see ... vaguery's OK for thee, but not for me. Good to know.

I've been in prison a few times (for stories, of course) and they are pretty clear about dress code, shoes, what you can carry in.

I think being catcalled/jeered by prison inmates while on assignment is something every journalist ought to experience, once.
The kind of thing that tells you you're not in Kansas anymore.

I know its not the same, but isn't it every journos experience to be told routinely by people you are there to cover/interview that your paper is bad. I mean - do people let every visitor they meet know that they have a low opinion of their place of business? I get it, but its still rude.

Hmmmm ...

I tried. You and I simply cannot converse. All the best.

I think conversate is the new in word.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one. Sounds like the warden down at Atmore don't appreciate the women folk being around.

Another reporter, AP's Kim Chandler, said on Twitter that she was subjected to similar treatment from ADOC prior to James' execution. An ADOC official made both reporters stand and then essentially measured the length of their skirts.

When she asked why, Chandler wrote that the ADOC official simply said that the "warden was enforcing a dress code."

The arbitrary nature of Holman warden Terry Raybon's enforcement of vague dress code rules did not surprise a number of attorneys who have made visits to Holman to speak with clients. Two attorneys who spoke with APR – who both declined to be named because they worried their clients might be treated unfairly at the prison – said they had witnessed female attorneys being denied access to clients over petty, insignificant issues, such as how tight their dress pants were.

In response to Chandler's tweet, Leah Nelson, the research director at Alabama Appleseed, spoke of her experiences having her undergarments inspected during her visits with clients.

Talabama in action checking undergarments and measuring dresses? Who would've guessed?

Might take the undertaker three days to wipe the smile off his face.
