Interview with Henry and Bob

JM: What clothes could you have brought in to wear in the jail (underwear, socks, etc.)?
Henry: All clothing was the same: elastic waist pants and a shirt. The material was something resembling canvas.
Bob: Jail issue pants, shirt. Also thermal shirts, socks, gym shorts were available through the commissary. The thermals were absolutely necessary because they kept it so cold in there all the time.

JM: If you had a set uniform, what did it look like? Please be specific about each piece of clothing issued to you.
Henry: Each charge level had a different color, as did gender. Misdemeanors and low felony inmate were: Women-green, Men-blue. High felony charges were: Women- yellow, Men-orange.
Bob: I wore a turquiose blue shirt and pants and shower shoes (flip flops).

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Henry: No.
Bob: Not that I am aware of. Getting the right size was always important though.

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Henry: No.
Bob: The jail uniforms were pretty much the same for men and women.
