Interview with Bruce and Elvira

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Bruce: Only what underwear and socks we had on when we were arrested. But we were able but addition underwear and socks through the commissary.
Elvira: underwear, socks, shoes, shirt, shorts or pants, and you can bring a bra without the underwire in it.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Bruce: We were issued a clean orange jumpsuit with the word "JAIL"on the back, every other day when I was housed over the old police station. While working in the kitchen we got a clean jumpsuit everyday.
Elvira: You have a jumpsuit that they give you. It is a yellow shirt with LMDC on the back of it. And the yellow pants to go with it have LMDC on the pants.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Bruce: Most people liked the newer jumpsuits. They fit better and didn't look so warn out.
Elvira: You don't get to chose the jumpsuit, the only thing you have a choice on is what size.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Bruce: The women I was were wearing the orange jump suit like ours but smaller.
Elvira: Men were in the orange and the women are in the yellow.
