Jodi Arias prison update: no more contact visit privileges after calling prison guard a vulgar word

Jodi Arias is serving a life sentence in Perryville Prison in Arizona for the murder of her boyfriend Travis Alexander. The former waitress, who entered the prison in April 2015, was approved to have contact visit privileges starting this month. But according to a report, she was vulgar to a prison guard and as a result, Arias was found guilty of a disciplinary violation and the privilege was taken away from her.

According to the Inmate Disciplinary Report obtained by Radar Online, Arias made the vulgar comment to the guard on Wednesday, Feb. 3.

"Inmate Arias admitted to me that she called me a [expletive] blocker," said the guard in the disciplinary report.

The report says that Arias claimed that she heard the other inmates talk that way all the time and figured that it was alright. She was advised that she should maintain good conduct while in prison and not follow what the others are doing.

According to the documents, it all began after a guard denied Arias permission to get a haircut from their programs porter. The guard did not allow this since the person was not assigned as the barber for the yard.

"[Redacted] told Arias I said no and then she stated to him 'I knew she would say no. She's a [expletive] blocker.'"

The guard said in the report that at first, Arias did not want to admit what she said but then finally admitted to calling her the vulgar word. It was explained to the convicted killer that her statement was inappropriate and could be taken as a sexual reference. Arias then said that she did not know that the word had any sexual meaning and advised the guard to look up the phrase on urban dictionary because that would show it means "to stonewall someone."

The disciplinary hearing was held on Feb. 9 and the Arizona Department of Corrections told Radar that Arias lost contact visit privileges and will have to demonstrate at least 180 days of good behavior for the privilege to be restored.
