WTF?! I was just watching this prison show on tv and they showed a guy who had to cut the front off of his earring off. The part that holds the stone. That doesn't make any sense to me. I understand that they are prisoners, but for crying out loud! Why destroy a perfectly good earring when you can simply take it out like you are supposed to??? Can someone please make me understand cause right now I view this as absolutely unnecessary and absurd.

OMG! Let me break it down further. It was a REALITY prison show on tv. Geez. I know better than to believe fictional bs. I attended college and have a highly functional brain, okay?

I saw that show too. It had to be done because it was the only way to get it off.

That is ALL I need to know. FICTION is NOT reality. A REAL prison would not allow the prisoner to keep ANY part of the earring as it could become part of a weapon. Cutting off the earring would leave part of it in the ear.

I suppose it is meant to be demeaning. Also, piercings cut through the skin. The skin protects us from infection. The only way disease can enter the body is through broken skin and by natural orfices--ears, mouth, nose, fingernails, etc., etc. So it is a health measure, also. I believe that the military requires the same rules.
