Last week, Assemblymember Tina McKinnor, Assemblymember Isaac Bryan, and Senator Steven Bradford introduced Assembly Bill 1875.
No one going to prison expects a spa experience from the canteens and commissaries selling personal-care products to the population. But what many incarcerated people of color have come to discover is that they can’t even expect to find products that serve the basic needs of natural hair, while their white counterparts have access to options that work for their hair types.
“Because correctional facilities consist of different incarcerated people populations with different needs, AB-1875 allows sheriffs departments and inmate advisory councils flexibility to determine which products best suit their population and where the products should be sourced,” she tells Allure. However, the specificity of sulfate-free products is equally intentional. She cites a study that says that sulfates can cause friction-induced cuticle damage.
