Interview with Wyatt and Erica

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Wyatt: You could bring in socks, underwear and plain white tshirts. No other clothing was allowed in the prison.
Erica: black and white stripes this changed while iw as there into bright orange. it was horrible

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Wyatt: Butler Countys uniform is the old fashioned black and white striped shirt and pants. They were made out of scrubs material, and were always striped. We received 3 sets of the uniform when we got to the block. Our shoes were called white bobos. They were plain slip on canvas shoes. You were allowed to bring in your own white tennis shoes, but if you did not have any you would wear the bobos. I was locked up during the summer, so we were not issued any winter coats or jackets.
Erica: it felt like cardboard it was itchy and uncomfortable. we wore a different shirt and pants. they were like scrubs but super stiff and uncomfortable.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Wyatt: No, all of the clothes are standard and nothing is in high demand. Everyone wears the same thing.
Erica: I don't understand this question we didn't have a choice in what we wore.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Wyatt: No, women and men wore the same striped pants and shirts.
Erica: no as far as I kmew the whole jail dressed the same
