Interview with Ryan, Angel, Dale and Peter

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Ryan: In P pod they wear brown clothes and orange shoes. In the G pod you wear white and black. In booking you wear blue. B pod- I'm not sure what they wear and I never saw anyone in the F pod.
Angel: None
Dale: Just basic whites. They don't offer nothing unless you work. So your in blues and hopefully you can scrounge some whites up.
Peter: White socks, white underwear & white tshirt. You can also keep your prescription glasses and your wedding band if you can't get it off.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Ryan: See above.
Angel: Blue shrubs they do not give u shirts or socks or sweater
Dale: You are issued brown slides. Blue Shirt thick cloth, and a pair of stretch blue pants, thick cloth. Not too good for the clothing I'd have to say.
Peter: Blue pants and shirts and jail slides. We could wear a white t under our uniform or our shower slides but that was all unless you were a trustee.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Ryan: No
Angel: No
Dale: T-Shirts, people often sell T-Shirts they're a hot commodity. Commissary offers some whites but not good white boxers so you got to buy them from someone who has them.
Peter: Just ones that fit and were not torn or stained.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Ryan: Didn't see the women.
Angel: No
Dale: No, all the clothing is the same.
Peter: No, the uniform was the same.
