At Durango, access to nail clippers is very limited. The DOs bring out a water glass with 3 pairs and sit it outside the pods, one on each "side of the house". A and B pods get to take turns sending 3 inmates out of the pod to use them, and same with C and D pods. It is supposed to happen once every 6 weeks but it was my experience that it is much more infrequent than that. In the first 3 months I only saw one occasion. In the working pod, it works a little different. You can at any time go to the bubble and trade your ID for a set of clippers, then trade back when you're finished.
Today I am grateful that I'm able to use nail clippers whenever the heck I want to, and don't have to bite or grind my nails on the cement, and that I don't have to walk around with freakishly long nails.
