Requiring correctional facilities to provide free feminine hygiene products

This bill requires West Virginia correctional facilities to provide free feminine hygiene products (tampons and sanitary napkins) to female inmates and juvenile detainees upon request. Specifically, facilities must supply these products at no cost within eight hours of a request, directly affecting all female prisoners in state jails, regional jails, and correctional facilities, as well as female juveniles in detention centers. The law amends existing statutes to mandate this provision, ensuring access without financial barriers for menstrual care. It does not alter existing fee structures for other medical services but explicitly exempts feminine hygiene products from inmate charges.
