The following excerpt is from Covino v. Patrissi, 967 F.2d 73 (2nd Cir. 1992):
5 To the extent that Hurley v. Ward, 549 F.Supp. 174, 186 (S.D.N.Y.1982), holds that routine strip searches of inmates other than after contact visits are "unreasonable and unjustified," we reject that view in this case.
6 The cited federal regulation provides:
Body searches of inmates
(b) Visual search--a visual inspection of all body surfaces and body cavities.
