Yes they did a search whenever anyone came on the program to see if the person had drugs on them.
Do you get it yet?
You are implying that you were searched inappropriately at straight.
Plain and simple.

I beg to differ with you. My bother and I were in SR 84 in Ft. Lauderdale begining March 13, 1973. He was searched, I was not. His clothes were taken and worn by male staff members, including John Underwood. I saw my bother's clothing on John with my own eyes. My bag was searched but my clothes were not stolen.
APPARENTLY there were no hard and fast rules that I can see. That's where the problem lies - it was all arbitrarily enforced. Everything about the seed program was arbitrary. That's why we have such differing experiences. Was the arbitraty enforcement of strip searches part of the control mechnaism? Probably; it makes sense to me. That's one of the mechanisims used to control prison populations.
That it was so arbitrary and we have such differeing experiences should be enough for all of us to question the validity of the entire experience. It's like that George Orwell novel, 1984 - where some of us are more equal than others.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I feel left out because I didn't get searched. At this juncture, I'm really glad I was less equal than the others.
The whole inequity of experience is kind of creepy when you think about it. What exactly were the criteria to search a kid? I mean, for my bother and I - we came from the same house, same experience, same family - so it figures that we should have been treated the same.
Was there even a criteria? Or was it used as the "great equalizer" ? Or, given Jalongs latest statements about her pre-seed rape (and jalong I mean no disrespect), were searches done because someone wanted to check out the "goods" on another kid?
And, if the searchers did find dope, what was the protocol? Was that arbitrary, too? Was it flushed, burned destoryed or used? Was it turned over to the police or held as "evidence" ?

Well, in St Pete, it was universal, the strip search, and the rare instances they found anything they held it and threatened to turn it over to the police if you misbehaved.
There was some flack about this in the early press.
Ft Luaderdale, sorry you are not liking my writing style, but this is me..what you read is what you get. I am trying to be as honest, straightforward, and open minded as I can be. I hope you are striving for the same goals.
