Clothing

Interview with Ray, Oscar and Marshall

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Ray: Underwear, socks, t-shirt, black and/or white shoes. Anything outside of that would be packed up for you to send home or be disposed of.
Oscar: you can no longer have any clothing items brought in for you at the jail
Marshall: white sox white boxers grey jogging outfit/sweatsuit all black or white shoes white t shirts

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Ray: I was issued a set of "tans" one top and one bottom. The sizes didn't corrospond to your actual size and were general in most ways. One would be lucky to have pockets w/o holes in them.
Oscar: the shirt was a tan shirt of abrasive cloth, the pants were tan and made of the same abrasive cloth, the boxers were cheap and didnt last long neither did the t shirts
Marshall: mine was a tan shortsleeve top tan pants white shirt white boxers white sox and blue no laces shoes/ slippers with shower shoes if i bought them

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Ray: If you could find the newest of the item you wouldn't look like a street bum
Oscar: not really the uniform was the same it just mattered if you got newer or older clothing
Marshall: no not that i know of but buying shoes was important to inmates

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Ray: Men and women are a different facilities but I believe they are all the same.
Oscar: we were not housed with women
Marshall: not that i know of
