MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Vaughan v. Ricketts, 859 F.2d 736 (9th Cir. 1988):
Id. at 295 (citations omitted) (emphasis added). In United States v. Lilly, 576 F.2d 1240, 1246 (5th Cir.1978), the court required that body cavity "search[es] and any consequent seizure [must be] conducted in a reasonable manner." Lilly upheld the constitutionality of a body cavity search of a female inmate where the "search was conducted by a female medical officer in the prison clinic in the presence of only the medical officer and a female correctional officer." Id. at 1247.
