Interview with Carrie, Michael, Roy, Tiff, Lela and Manuel

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Carrie: We were given some white tube socks, flip flop sandals, humongous underware, t shirt, blue pants, and a blue shirt to go over the tshirt.
Michael: orange pants and white shirt
Roy: You cant bring in anything.
Tiff: None. This was not allowed. they provided u with things they wanted u to wear
Lela: You can't bring in any of your own clothes with you after booking. They provide panties, socks, and a bra if you're lucky.
Manuel: Ones you're incarcerated you had to wear state issue uniforms.and no shoes you had to wear sandals.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Carrie: We all wore the same thing
Michael: yes orange pants and orange or white shirt
Roy: Oragne scrub like shirt and pant. Tube socks and flip flops.
Tiff: we wore a navy blue set of scrubs, some green tube socks and green underwear , no bra. these items were all previously used before
Lela: Women wear navy blue 'smocks' and elastic waist pants. Underneath the smock you must wear the gray men's t-shirt they give you. Light green panties and socks. You must always wear your socks with your black and white shower shoes.
Manuel: The shirts where grey.the pants where orange .the under wears and the socks where green. And if you where house in the milwaukee county jail you had to wear and orange shirt over the grey tshirt.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Carrie: no
Michael: no they were all the same different sizes
Roy: No, just don't get clothes that have sh* stains on them.
Tiff: I mean if you were a large girl then they had to find some thing that fit. other than that it was sm, m, l xl, 1x, 2x and so forth
Lela: They don't have any 'small' sized smocks, pants, or undershirts. So a medium on me was too big but just have to deal with it. As for the gray shirts, Large is the smallest that I saw there so I atleast made sure I got that. The shower shoes were way too big on me but they give you the same ones the men get too. The underwear have different sizes going up from 5. So you could try to get the size you need if they have them. Make sure you tell them the size you want for the whole time you are there because it is very difficult to get it switched in the long run. You only get one 'roll' of clothes and towels a week.
Manuel: The only thing that inmates wanted to wear where uniforms that look new.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Carrie: yes, one wore blue, the other wore orange
Michael: Dont know the people were separated
Roy: Not sure.
Tiff: No. they uniforms were just a different color
Lela: Yes, women wore navy and men wore orange smocks and pants.
Manuel: Yes the men wore orange and grey and the women wore dark blue uniforms.
