Dress Code for Women to Visit a Maximum Security Prison

3/20/2006

There is a “Dress Code” enforced by the Government and Penal System for any woman who wishes to visit a friend, or spouse, in a Maximum Security Penitentiary. It is fairly shocking (and disappointing) in some ways. Allow me to explain. Here’s where it “hurts.” When unRegenerate humans in the Prison System are attempting to define “what is modest”—and the absolute need for modesty—the pagans and unSaved often surpass many of those who call themselves by Jesus’ Name. As you already know, when religious women dress for their daily life, either for “work”—or for an evening “out”—or when ladies are “dressing up” for a Sunday-morning religious “service,” it seems often that we have been blinded by the enemy on this matter of modesty. Certainly this would be a disappointment to Jesus, and clearly we must also consider the subsequent bad fruit in the religious world—well-known, even to unBelievers. It is not Right nor Safe that immodesty and the fruit of immodesty would be more obvious to the pagans than to those who claim Jesus. If most religious facilities said, as do Maximum Security Prisons, “No cleavage, no spaghetti straps, no bare shoulders, no halter tops, no exposed midriffs, no form-fitting tight clothing, and no more than 2 inches of leg showing above the knees, including slits...”—if most religious facilites held a similar heart-Standard of modesty as the pagans—a very large percentage of women and teen girls wouldn’t make it through the door to even “attend” at a Sunday or Wednesday “service” or “mass” or “bible study.” Might we beseech those of you worldwide who still “attend” a weekly ceremony or teaching session, or know those who do, to please try to give this all some thought and prayer, and have the courage to not “conform to the patterns of the world”—and be helpful to bring enlightenment of God’s Heart on this matter, in love but clarity, to those wearing Jesus’ Name, who you know? Change is needed. Change is Good.
