Interview with Collin, Robbie, Michelle and Lorrie
JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)? Collin: Orange shirt, orange pants. I brought my own
socks and underwear that I washed by hand every
night. If you don't have white they take it way. Robbie: you can have underwear socks and undershirts but
they have to be white or they wont let you have
them. Michelle: That answer varies by which guards are working.
Some
let you bring in your white shirt, if any, that
you
have on when coming to jail. Some let you wear
your
bra and panties and some make you take them off
and
wear nothing especially if not white. Lorrie: You could only bring your on underwear but they had
to be white and your own socks white also
JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you. Collin: That was it. Just what they gave us. Robbie: i was issued an orange shirt an orange pair of
pants and a pair of flip flops. no underwear or
t shirts just the jumpsuit. Michelle: They would issue you an orange top and orange pants
and they would come around and change them, if you
get in line twice a week. Lorrie: orange jumpsuit and if you had committed a murder
you wore a pink and white stripped suit and if you
were a sex offender you wore a hot pink suit
JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned? Collin: You could get T-shirts underwear or socks from the
commissary but nobody could bring in anything for
you. Robbie: no. you got your orange jumpsuit and thats it
nothing else is permitted. Michelle: Yes, panties, if they took your panties when coming
in then some guards would give you a pair of fish
net panties. Lorrie: No you all got the same jail issue clothes and flip
flops
JM: Was the clothing different between men and women? Collin: I think they were in blue. That's another time
when the guys went crazy.. anytime they saw those
women. Robbie: i dont think so but i'm not sure. Michelle: No, all got the same and even the same underwear. Lorrie: No we all wore he same uniform.
