Interview with Lena, Janis and Anna

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Lena: Standard jail outfit of coveralls material, shirt and undershirt, pants. All orange except the underwear.
Janis: Nothing you were wearing when you came in was allowed at all, nor were you allowed to have anything sent in.
Anna: I wouldn't know. I never had money to take advantage of this. But I knew like what's already been said was available.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Lena: That was all they gave you.
Janis: It was just an Orange two piece. The pants had an elastic waistband and were not form fitting or flattering. The top was a v neck pullover with short sleeves and both were branded with WVDC
Anna: My uniform was orange. I had a scrub looking top and pants. Underneath that I had a white t shirt. A white sports bra. I was also given underwear and socks. Sandals were also issued to me.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Lena: Oh no. Nothing at all.
Janis: Sweaters and thermals, but you had to have a chronic for those.
Anna: Underwear and bra's. The medium or large underwear would go fast. Also the sports bras

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Lena: I'm not sure what was going on with the guys over there. I'm guessing was the orange jumpsuit too.
Janis: No, it was the same two piece.
Anna: Well I know the guys wouldn't need sports bra's. But guy inmates that I saw were dressed in the same. Blue or orange.
