JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
PJ: no
Katherine: No there was nothing like that but the jail would run out of uniforms so we would have to turn ours in and run around half naked with our bedsheets over our bodies waiting for them to be washed and get them back for at least 3hrs, Talk about being uncomfortable.
Jimmy: no
Baldy: socks and shoes
Karen: no
Richard: no.everyone wears the same articles of clothing while there in jail
Danielle: all we could have and to look for was a decent uniform to wear for court

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
PJ: I don't know - didn't see the male inmates
Katherine: Yeah all women wore beige and the men wore dark blue. If you go to the box you get a grey one. If you go to the box and your viloent you wear red. and if your a male that is housed in the outside tents, you wear yellow. Trustys wore beige, when they switched us all back to the grey uniforms.
Jimmy: dont know
