I am no fan of making prison a happy fun place but this is barbaric and incredibly sexist.
I can see good reasons for a limit on how many someone might have at any one time but to ration them and charge for them in this situation is obscene.
Prisoners should not be charged for the basic necessities of life in this fashion. Even a nasty old conservative (old style not the current insanity) thinks this is untenable and morally indefensible.
Tampons and pads should be freely available as needed and at the woman’s choice…
