Interview with Ralph, Rachel, Fred, Craig and Joe

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Ralph: denver county blues
Rachel: We had uniforms, ugly uniforms and tennis shoes, no wire bras and granny panties
Fred: they would issue some clothes put also they would have some you could buy from them if you want.
Craig: None. They take everything. They supply you enough clothing to make sure you're good and ripe when stepping into an enclosed, perfumed room.
Joe: You are allowed to wear on your person at the time of your booking either white or gray t-shirts or underwear. You are also allowed a pair of white socks.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Ralph: yes we did, there were just blue uniforms
Rachel: Yes it was an ugly tan uniform and plain tennis shoes
Fred: it just look like hospital gear except in worse shape. not very comfortable in any way...some of the clothes were really old so it was hard
Craig: A pair of shoes with NO foot support at all. Pants and a shirt so thin its easy to get cold at room temperature, and most facilities keep their ACs going as colder environments are supposed to help keep things "less energized".
Joe: When you are booked you will be given yellows scrubs, upon assignment to a pod you will be wearing blues if your a misdemeanant, greens if your a felon and orange if your a max security inmate, and grays if your special management.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Ralph: no, everyone wore the same clothing
Rachel: Wouldn't know, we only had the one uniform
Fred: the quality of it yes, there are some new clothes that float around in there
Craig: I cant say for sure, however I would guess blankets first.
Joe: Not really, you get what you get and don't throw a fit.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Ralph: dont know
Rachel: I believe it was the same it just varied dependent upon your classification
Fred: no i dont believe so
Craig: Yes. Women were issued t-shirts to wear under the uniform shirt, as the uniform shirt would be VERY "suggestive" on its own.
Joe: Womens clothing was striped where mens were solids.
