  EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Revealing tops are out and bras are now a must for women visiting prisoners at the Vanderburgh County Jail. Jail officials imposed a new dress code policy after several incidents in which women visiting the jail exposed themselves to male prisoners.

  最近,身着暴露上装或不穿胸罩的女性探监者都不得进入美国印第安纳州的范德伯格县监狱。在该监狱发生数起女探监者向囚犯暴露身体的事件后,监狱官员做出了上述有关探监女性的着装新规定。

  The new policy, posted at the jail's front desk, states that women cannot wear halter tops, sleeveless dresses and shirts, see-through garments, revealing dresses, and shorts cut higher than 2 inches above the knee.

  张贴在监狱接待处的规定草案指出,女性不能身着露背装、无袖衣裙、透明外套、紧身裙,以及高于膝盖两英寸的下装。

  Spandex and "extremely tight fitting" jeans or pants also are frowned upon.

  弹力衣和紧身牛仔服同样被禁止。

  "Adult female visitors, as well as females who would have need of a bra, shall be required to wear a bra," the draft policy also states.

  规定草案称:"成年女性或是有必要佩戴胸罩的女性都必须戴上胸罩。"

  Since the draft policy was posted last month, the jail has turned away a few women, said Katie Roy, a receptionist. Those include two women who tried to get in with low-cut shirts with spaghetti straps.

  监狱接待员凯蒂·罗伊表示,着装新规定自上月公布以来,监狱已经禁止了部分女探监者入内,包括两名身着低胸细肩带上衣的妇女。

  The jail's commander, Maj. Dave Wedding, said some women have exposed themselves to male inmates in video visitation booths, located in plain view in the jail's main lobby.

  监狱狱长伟丁表示,一些妇女在监狱大厅的视频探视镜头前将身体清楚地暴露给男囚犯看。

  Inmates who encourage women into acts of indecency can lose their visitation privileges for weeks, Wedding said. Inmates are permitted up to three 30-minute visits per week.

  伟丁指出,鼓动妇女做出下流动作的囚犯将失去数周的被探视权利。囚犯每周拥有30分钟的被探视权。

  Many female visitors bring children, and Wedding said he hopes the dress code will create a more family friendly environment.

  伟丁说,许多妇女带着孩子来探监,他希望新的着装规定可以营造出更加温馨的家庭氛围。

  He expects to complete a final version of the policy within a month.

  伟丁希望着装新规定草案在本月内被正式通过。
