Interview with Jen, Kelsey, Cody and Charlize

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Jen: Pants, and T-shirt, a pair of socks, a sweat jacket, a pair of crappy tennis shoes.
Kelsey: FRESNO: Jumpsuits, green TULARE: Blue pants & all I remember is my sweatshirt. To sleep you get a....moomooooo
Cody: Nothing. When I was booked in I was stripped naked and placed in the "suicide room" which was a filthy rubber room with pubic hair and fecal matter all over the place and a hole for the toilet. After I was removed from this room I was given all clothes from jail.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Jen: The pants are a dark blue, and the shirt is orange, and the sweat shirt is blue or white I can't remember. The shoes are white.
Kelsey: Green jumpsuit. Except once this really big girl was given a red one (from guys dept)
Charlize: blue pants red shirt
Cody: A pair of pale orange torn up rubber sandals, gray socks, white pants with TULARE COUNTY JAIL on them, an orange shirt with the same lettering, dirty gross looking boxers, and a white smock.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Jen: No there were no special shoes. Most women just wanted to make sure they had their bedding.
Kelsey: Newer clothes
Cody: Yes there were some pants and boxers that were still white instead of being grimy and dirty and socks without holes in them.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Jen: No the women and men wore the same colors. However, the difference in clothes came when your charges are more criminal: Lifers wore black and white stripes, child abusers wore orange and white stripes. The stripes actually let other inmates know how much time the other persona was looking at for their offense.
Cody: The women generally had on some sort of sky blue shirt or pants if I remember right.
