Interview with Eric, Dominic and Carlos

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Eric: I really do not care ,always had the same clothing, And i could change it when they decided inwas needed.
Dominic: Clothing drop offs are no longer being accepted at any facility. All inmates are issued standardized uniforms.
Carlos: They let you keep socks, underwear and a shirt if its completely white with no logos and sandals if you were arrested with them.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Eric: I a one piece with a zipper in front orange color with number This clothing is made to make you sweat. Another kind of punishment. Stinks, they must to wash this in the sewer.
Dominic: Orange uniforms. orange pull over top, orange pants, orange canvas shoes, white underwear, white socks or a jumpsuit. i think that they call the orange two piece outfit scrubs.
Carlos: It was a two piece set. I think it was blue. The top looked like something that a nurse would wear. The bottom had an elastic waist band. They were both made from cotton. They also give a you a pair of shower slides.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Eric: Do not know, was not allowed to many things. I did not care.
Dominic: Anything that fitted properly and didnt look old worn faded.
Carlos: Not really, however, sometimes the most popular size (XL) would run out. The only thing they give you is a top and a bottom which you have to stand in line for and they have enough for everyone sometimes not in your ideal size.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Eric: No women there never saw one.
Dominic: I dont know what the women wore because the location i was housed in didnt have female inmates.
Carlos: no they were same type of uniform.
