The Morton County Sheriff's Department responded to Woodley's comment in a statement to ABC News, saying: “As is standard procedure within detention facilities, all arrested individuals must undergo a visual assessment in which they are checked for any open wounds or sores, bruising, cuts or other health risks, as well as the possession of drugs.

“This is to ensure the safety of the other inmates in which they will be housed."

The statement added that “all female inmates are assessed by female law enforcement, and male inmates by male law enforcement.”

Woodley, who is currently working on a new film, Adrift, accepted a plea deal earlier this year in which she pleaded guilty in exchange for one-year probation.
