Interview with Richard, Dave and Jon

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Richard: The only personal possession anyone could have on them was their underwear and nothing else.
Dave: your family could bring you in underwear and socks and certain types of white haine shirts
Jon: Inmates wear jail uniforms. But inmates can wear their own underware and socks.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Richard: Everyone wore plastic beige colored sandals, blue scrubs and blue shirt with a collar. A very simple outfit. Everyone had the same thing. Thats about it.
Dave: Well every inmate was issued a standard blue jump suit and depending on your build would determine what size you would get, It would be a button up one as well
Jon: Two piece green uniform that's looks like hospital scrubs.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
