Interview with Matthew, Michelle and Art

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Matthew: You were not allowed to bring your own clothes. you were assigned a jumpsuit and sandals, with an option to purchase jail clothes and shoes through the catalogue.
Michelle: our jail stopped letting people drop off stuff like mentioned above. it all has to be ordered through comminsary and is very expensive.
Art: You can have no clothes brought to you in yuma county they used to allow whie tees and sock undwear but it got too hectic

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Matthew: It was a orange 2-piece outfit. Both the pants and shirt were made from heavy duty denim. It had the county initials on the back and you were required to wear your nametag at all times clipped onto the single pocket. I also had standard issued white and black sandals that were given to me.
Michelle: there are only four colors of uniforms in the whole facility for both men and women. there is red, orange, green, or blue. they are comparison looking to beat up scrubs
