Clothing

Interview with Travis and Grant

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Travis: You could not bring in any clothes. You would have to wear their clothes or buy clothes off the commissary (not the main clothes, only socks/boxers/etc.). You could only bring in things like glasses, contacts, etc.
Grant: none ,no street clothes are allowed into the facility at any time what so ever

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Travis: There were rough pants and a rough outer shirt which had to be worn outside the pod. There were also sandals, and officially there were 2 boxers and 2 shirts and 2 pairs of socks per person, though some people had many more of these. Pod workers had shoes.
Grant: there was an either yellow or blue v necked county shirt and an either yellow or blue pair of bottoms with spandex waist line to match.a pair of socks ,boxer short and rubber slip on sandals

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Travis: Not particularly, I think everyone received the same clothing originally and I did not bother to go to clothing exchange though if I did I thought new boxers were important as they get dirty quick.
Grant: try to get a good sweat shirt for the cold nights

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Travis: I do not think so. They looked the same from the outside.
Grant: no except for the under garments
