Clothing

Interview with Todd, Katie and Burl

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Todd: Jail issued uniform. Blue (Orange for discipline)
Katie: Wasn't there long enough, however, I know that you can have socks, underwear and t-shirts brought to you as long as they are the color white and labeled with your inmate number.
Burl: You were not allowed to bring your own clothing unless you bought it on comminasary

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Todd: Blue uniform. Coarse material. I rather liked it. Pull over shirt, pants with elastic band. T shirts and socks/underwear had to be white with no writing on them.
Katie: Blue v-neck cotton shirt, blue cotton pants with elastic band. White tube socks and brown flip flops. Optional: white tshirt and white underware Both the male and female uniforms were the same.
Burl: Our uniform was blue with slippers and a white under shirt. Some people had other clothing depending on what they were classfied as so again it depends

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Todd: Not that I am aware of.
Katie: No all the same. The only thing that was in high demand was to get a newer cleaner uniform.
Burl: No just make sure for females when you get your underware you put pads on as well

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Todd: No. Of course women were offered brassieres through the commisary.
Katie: No clothing for men and women are the same.
Burl: yes clothing was different it just depends what county you in
