'''Feminine hygiene in prison''' is the availability and use of [[tampon]]s, [[sanitary napkin]]s, and similar products by [[incarceration of women|incarcerated women]]. Many female prisoners have claimed that prisons have provided inadequate amounts of such products,<ref>https://ift.tt/2ShU5WC> or that prison officials have withheld these products to exercise power and control over them.<ref>https://ift.tt/2E5r1i2>

==Jurisdictions==
===Arizona===
In Arizona, the #LetItFlow campaign led to the [[Arizona Department of Corrections]]'s releasing a statement of immediate policy change regarding sanitary product allocation in prisons.<ref>https://ift.tt/2SgUTLn>

===Virginia===
In 2018, the [[Virginia Department of Corrections]] announced a new policy to bar women from visiting state prisons wearing tampons or menstrual cups, but then backtracked due to public outcry.<ref>https://ift.tt/2E1Xrdm>

===Federal===
The [[FIRST STEP Act]] would require the [[Federal Bureau of Prisons]] to make such products "available to prisoners for free, in a quantity that is appropriate to the healthcare needs of each prisoner."<ref>https://ift.tt/2SjvwbW>
