flag Ohio now requires free period products in prisons, becoming the first state to ban denial as punishment.

flag Ohio has enacted a law requiring state prisons to provide free period products to incarcerated women, making it the first U.S. state to prohibit denying supplies as punishment or discrimination. flag The law, House Bill 29, mandates disposal containers and at least one daily shower during menstruation. flag It was driven by advocacy from formerly incarcerated women like Dianira Garcia, who described severe health issues and delayed medical care due to inadequate supplies. flag The measure aims to ensure dignity, health, and successful reintegration, joining about half of U.S. states with similar policies.
