PHOENIX – Convicted murderer Jodi Arias will not be receiving visitors anytime soon.

Arias has lost visitation privileges for roughly 200 days as punishment for calling a female correctional officer a vulgar name, KNXV-TV in Phoenix reported.

Arias referred to the officer on Feb. 3 in a crude fashion while talking with another officer, according to an Arizona Department of Corrections report.

The report said Arias was upset because the officer denied her request for a haircut.

When confronted, Arias acknowledged the name-calling.

But Arias told investigators she didn't think the name meant anything sexual. She said she knew the name to mean someone who stonewalls another person.

DOC spokesman Andrew Wilder said Arias must show good behavior for at least 180 days to regain her privileges.
