Clothing

Interview with Nathan

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Nathan: Jumpsuits. Capital criminals wore red, violent criminals wore yellow/gold and non-violent inmates wore brown jumpsuits.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Nathan: See above.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Nathan: They never gave us enough of anything. You could buy undergarments and long johns off commissary (they kept the temperature down). They did issue boxer shorts, T-shirt and socks (2 pair each). Laundry was done twice a week. Basicallly you end up doing laundry in your sink.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Nathan: No.
