JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Jessica: The blue jumpsuits were whe most common. You could also find the women wearing orange shorts and white t-shirts.
Sarah: blue jumpsuites were mandatory out of your room. You could wear orange shorts and white T-shirts at rec time
Curt: blue overalls.
Brad: Blue jumpsuit that said Seminole County jail on the back. On work releae you wear orange pants and orange shirt.
Peter: Other than wearing our blues (uniform) there were basketball shorts which were sold at the prison, white tees, and tennis shoes.
Michael: I brought my own boxers 4 pair, 4 pair of socks, 4 tshirts I layered them the day I went to court because I knew I was more than likely going to jail.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Jessica: The uniform was pretty much set as the blue jumpsuit. Long pants and short sleeves.
Sarah: yes it was blue and it was a jumpsut
Curt: blue overalls.
Brad: Just the jumpsuit.
Peter: We wore a blue short sleeved top, blue pants with a white stripe down the side, boots, and a belt.
Michael: Depending on what part of the jail you are in depends on the uniform you wear. If you are outside the jail usually they make you wear a bright orange jump suit. Some wear blue.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Jessica: You should order bras, panties and tshirts from commessary. Only disposable underwear would be provided to to you in the beginning and only one pair. Shorts would also be a decent investment.
Sarah: make sure they're a little bigger than wht you would normally wear so you're comfortable
Curt: i dont know.
Brad: You could get boxers, socks, thermal shirts and pants from commissary.
Peter: Yes. Anything new. New boots, pants, shirts, or anything like that is hard to come by in prison. They usually hand out old tore up and worn out clothing. So if you can get anything new, either hold it and keep it for a while, or sell it for top dollar.
Michael: Slides that don't have holes, just things that aren't so used they are falling apart.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Jessica: I don't really know what the men wore in the cell but I saw many with the same blue jumpsuits on in the halls and I also saw some with red pants and red short sleeved shirts. I think those people were federal.
Sarah: no
Curt: no. it was all the same.
Brad: Same blue jump suit.
Peter: I was not housed with women so i do not know.
Michael: I honestly don't know the answer to that question
