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.
Nah, they were all male. However as I always refuse the jail garb and usually am in the isolation cell with only a rip proof 'suicide blanket,' when I have had a female in charge of monitoring people like me I have given people like that an eye full of me. (Poor bastards.) ;-D
By the way, they always play games like, "you are not going to be able to see the judge unless you dress in jail clothes," (television arraignment there in the jail). But they always get me my pants and shirt to do this as I always call their bluff on that point.
I always push the mattress out the slot in the inner door designed for that too and they always take it. They also have a policy of only giving MI people a small Bible to read, but they always give me a novel or other book.
For some reason, they find what I do to the Bible infuriating and disgusting.
Why Buck, as someone who has entered a closed timber sale, participated in sit down strikes, been arrested as a possible leader at demonstrations and all other nasty, despicable crimes I've committed, I guess I must be. ;-D
However, I never steal, attack, rob, vandalize or do anything that victimizes another for my benefit.
I have a clean police record as far as "common crimes" go. I have been arrested also when someone stole and used my ID.
But I would never act up as I mentioned had had it been over the 'normal' business of common criminality. I would then be in the modus of 'if you do the crime, do the time.'
Activists usually are nothing but a pain in the neck to deal with in jail. Well, EF!ers like me are anyway.
Now Buck, walking in a cell ignoring nakedness is not ' spreading your legs.'
Some assholes have been known to masturbate in front of a woman corrections officer to screw with her. That is criminal behavior I find disgusting, and the worst I've done is act like a nudist.

How do you know so much about "cell-behaviour?"
I want to review your personal police records in publick. If, you show yours ... I shall show mine.
Well Buck, I do not have much cell time. And I sure don't think that in the context of a jail or prison population I would do well.
In the context of the SERE course, (Survival Evasion Resistance and Evasion), my making waves is never recommended; not if you want to survive the experience of incarceration in a place they do not abide by the Geneva Convention guidelines for prisoners of war.
One thing the SERE course and my four day stint in the Pierce County Correctional Confinement Facility taught me is my claustrophobia would probably have me insane in short order if locked up.
And I would have to shut-up, be as unassuming and private as possible and not make waves.
I have no criminal record, I do not steal, scam, or hurt people. I am very intelligent and have heard many things, including things from friends who worked in the psychiatric hospital ward that used to be at the Lane County Jail.
If you ever come up to Lane County/Eugene, I would be happy to introduce you to reputable people who would laugh their ass off at your inquiries about my possible criminal record.
Think about it Buck, I am on line here in my own name and you could get copies of every newspaper article about me upon contacting the Register Guard in Eugene or the Oregonian in Portland.
If I were a criminal, it would show there. Instead you would get pieces with some nice things said about me. The only articles in which a crime is mentioned and I am in them is when I was a youth working at 7 Eleven and got robbed.
In any event, I do believe people's criminal records are public record, so again, knock yourself out and do a background check on me. I have nothing to hide, and would only want to provide the meal of crow for you to dine on.
