An American journalist was forced to change her outfit after prison officials said her skirt was 'too short' to witness an execution of a death-row inmate
A photographer loaned Ms Hrynkiw his protective rain clothing, including waterproof wader trousers, which the ADOC deemed appropriate.
Following the change of clothes, Ms Hrynkiw was told her open-toed heels also violated policy. She was told to put on closed-toe shoes, and put on tennis shoes she had in her car. The prison spokesperson said the skirt violated the prison’s dress length policy, as well as her open-toed shoes, Ms Hrynkiw said."I felt embarrassed to have my body and my clothes questioned in front of a room of people I mostly had never met," she said.
The execution of Joe Nathan James by lethal injection was held up for three hours due to the amount of time it took to establish an intravenous line.LBC has approached ADOC for comment.
