Clothing
Interview with Dale
JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Dale: Everything one wears in the jail is furnished by
the facility--the orange suits, white socks,
boxers, and shoes. Any other items of clothing
would have to be ordered from commissary.
JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Dale: Socks, boxers, tee-shirts, and shoes were white.
The stereotypical over shirt and pants were
orange, with "Mercer County Jail" printed in
black on the back of the shirt.
JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Dale: One really does not have a choice; unless a
person is on suicide watch (which merits a blue
or green tunic of sorts, which cannot be torn to
make a noose), it's all "oranges."
JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Dale: Sizes were likely different, but on the whole,
there was no significant difference.
