JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Elise: shorts and t-shirts
Jack: Tuscaloosa County takes all of your clothes away from you when you come in. You aren't permitted to keep anything.
Justin: Socks & thermals ( top and bottom) boxers and t shirts all way over priced
Sean: well, your supposed to be able to recieve socks,boxers , and long sleeve thermals according to the handbook, but they make you wear what they giveyou....and usually they dont have much of anything...theyres too many inmates

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Elise: yes, it was white. The pants were draw string pants, unlike the ones in Florida that are elastic waste. Shirts were the usual pullover that was like the medical uniforms.
Jack: The uniform was blue and white striped. It was two pieces with a top and bottom part. There were also brown shower shoes that they gave you.
Justin: your are issued 1 top and 1 bottom when u are booked into the jail. they are all in VERY bad condition and you never get clothes to fit
Sean: when yougo in you are issued one jail issued shirt and one pair of jail issued pants...basically, a two peice white jumpsuit . you will geta pair of reused boxers if they have any

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Elise: no
Jack: It's best to make sure you get a pair of socks (its really cold) and a t-shirt also.
Justin: no you get what the guards give you. if you are luck it will fit
Sean: socks and white t shirts are in high demand, as well as sandals...due to the overcrowding and lack of stuff

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Elise: I don't know. I think they were. Didn't see any men while I was there
Jack: No, the uniform was the same for both.
Justin: No men and women wear the same thing
Sean: no, the white jumpsuit is standard for felons....orange for misdemeanors
