Interview with Bill, Rochelle, Joyce, Mikey, Eric, Kirk, Janelle and Claudia

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Bill: Standard Jail Uniform for all inmates. Different Colors for different classes of inmates. Unsentenced Males: Green Unsentenced Females: Gray Sentenced Males: Light Blue Sentenced Females: Light Gray
Rochelle: Blue Jeans and blue shirt, or a uniform dress of blue, gold, or pink.
Joyce: You can not bring any of your own personal items to wear while in duval jail
Mikey: they dont give you that option they give you inmate uniforms thats it al you get
Eric: Underwear, socks, well-fitting sneakers and jeans, t-shirts, golf shirts, walking shorts. I'd also want a pair of Dockers (khaki), a long sleeved dress shirt, a tie, a belt and a pair of nice dress shoes for court appearances. NOTE: The jail will not allow you to possess the tie or belt; you might use them as a weapon on yourself or others.
Kirk: You could only wear what the jail gave you. Nothing that was yours was allowed.
Janelle: You were allowed to keep your own bra and flip flops if you had them. You had to wear their socks and underwear
Claudia: The only clothes that were allowed in this facility to be brought in were tennis shoes and underwear.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Bill: Basic 50% cotton and 50% polyester top (V-neck) and matching stretch pants. Gray sweaters offered in colder months
Rochelle: Pink Dress with my own shoes
Joyce: Genereal population of females had gray scrubs. High risk inmates had bright orange, juveniles wore brown, men wore green, and inmates with communicable diseases wore red. I wore gray
Mikey: well you get issued used up socks then used up boxers then a used up t shirt then a coloredshirt and spandex pants color depend on your charge
Eric: We wore a medium green set of scrubs, one shirt and one pair of pants. They were always too big. They had the desired effect of making people feel crappy and unattractive; like a "unit" instead of a person. They made people feel anonymous. We also received one pair of boxer style undershorts and one pair of "shower shoes" - (flip-flops).
Kirk: We were issued a shirt kinda like med scrubs, green in color. A pair of pants also green, a pair of boxers in white and a pair of white socks.
Janelle: I had a gray top and bottoms. Standard jail uniform. The high risk inmates wore red ones to identify them. We also had black shower shoes.
Claudia: The uniforms were grey, two piece, with the name of the facility printed on. Every week, we received a clean set of uniform, including underclothes and socks. If a person did not wear tennis shoes, they received a pair of flip flops.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Bill: N/A. Uniform simply comes in a bag in the size you request.
Rochelle: Jeans and blue shirt
Joyce: No, not that I was aware of. No clothing was assigned, we changed out uniforms every 3 or so days
Mikey: new clothes is about it other wis no ther is not
Eric: Not that I can recall, but then again I wasn't there for too long. If there was something more popular than something else, it would be jeans, hats and sneakers.
Kirk: Everyone was always trying to get extra boxers and socks.
Janelle: Just had to make sure you had the correct amount of panties.
Claudia: They should look for flip flops. They were in high demand because they could tear easily.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Bill: Uniform itself was the same, just different colors.
Rochelle: Yes
Joyce: Men wore green scrubs and women wore gray
Mikey: yes the women wear grey uniforms
Eric: Not really. Everyone wears a sexless and a simple set of scrubs.
Kirk: Men wore green and women gray
Janelle: Not that I notices except for size
Claudia: No, the clothes were the same.
