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.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.
