This is an old and very common humiliation technique. I have been jailed a number of times for activist related violations such as trespassing.
I am taken to medical isolation (MI)usually as I never cooperate. I never am violent or abusive, but you can get their goat without doing all that.
One time when they were escorting me from intake to MI I had four deputies north, east, south and west of me as I walked. I knew they were in a game playing mood.
They never asked for my clothes, they tripped me and then started undressing me and I went limp and didn't react. I would of given them the street clothes had they asked, but that wasn't part of the game that day.
Needless to say, it takes more then nakedness to bother me. I can see very well how this would bother a woman allot more then a guy anyway.
One thing I am always amused by is how many jailers are fat as hogs. They really need to get more exercise. Most of them would be far more embarrassed to be strip searched then lean little muscular me.
