What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alaska
I was enrolled in the salvation army adult rehab program in alaska and was stripped searched for what they said was a cell phone... I feel like my rights were violated and I protested to the search.. After the strip search and no phone was found, 30min. later I was called into the office and was released from the program for what they said was, they found items in my locker.. I was a model benifiary in there program and believe the items were planted in my locker by staff.. ( i was not present for their locker search)... There was also one other person that was searched and not kicked out of the program and was appologised to emensly... from what I have heard, the staff can not detain or strip search you in this program. Is this correct?
I was there on a 3rd party bed to bed transfer from the alaska D.O.C., and have been told that if being strip searched a law enforcement officer has to be present during the search... I wish one was accually, Not only was I stripped searched, I was improperly handled - ( fondled), by the person performing the search... He was just hired approx. a week earlier and knew me from the streets years earlier, he is a drug felon on felony probation which I have questions about him being in charge of over seeing a large number of other addicts with drug problems also... I feel his actions were a way to get back at me for things in the past and not only was humiliating and degrading but also has cost me lost time and a difficult case due to be kicked out of the program... Is what he did legal and if not what can I do??... Any advise would be very apprciated... Thanks...
