Alabama prison officials tried to block a female reporter with AL.com from witnessing Thursday night's execution of a death-row inmate, saying her skirt and shoes violated a prison dress code. Ivana Hrynkiw, a reporter and managing producer with AL.com, said she was told by Alabama Department of Corrections Public Information Officer Kelly Betts after she arrived at the media center at William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore that her skirt was too short. Hrynkiw said she tried to lower her skirt at the hip to comply with Betts, but that didn't satisfy the prison official. In order to witness the execution for reporting purposes, she had to borrow a pair of Columbia PFG fisherman's waders from a local television photographer. The fishing gear was deemed appropriate attire.
