My organization supports any legislation that will remove any discriminatory practices across Virginia. It is basic human decency to give women the proper care they deserve, even in prison. By not providing the needed sanitary products, sets up a discriminatory practice that targets a specific group of inmates, specifically women. This needs to stop and it needs to change. This is a women's rights issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
We support this change whole heartedly.
