Virginia suspends tampon ban for prison visitors

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia is suspending a new policy that would have barred women who visit inmates at state prisons from wearing tampons or menstrual cup.
Secretary of Public and Homeland Security Safety Brian Moran said he has ordered an “immediate suspension until further review.”
State prison officials recently announced they were set to implement the policy next month as a way to prevent contraband from being smuggled into prisons.
