The propsed change to the legislation is a good thing and should be supported. Basic cleanliness is a must for any population that does not want disease to run rampant, especially with a vector as potent as blood. In addition, the cost should be covered by the prison, as these items are needed by the women to help control a natural cycle that they themselves have no power over. It is in basic human decency to give these women the necessary items for personal hygiene.
