Clothing

Interview with Charlie


JM: What types of clothes were most common?
Charlie: green short sleeve shirt and pants. It was kept freezing cold in their and if you didn't want to be cold you'd have to buy thermals and other clothes, that place is so money hungry! They would take my socks in "Shake downs" and I would have to buy more!

JM: Did you have a set uniform? What did it look like?
Charlie: greens and you can only bring in white under wear so if you didn't have whites you had to go without or buy them too!

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?
Charlie: anything that will keep you warm

JM: Was the clothing different between men and women?
Charlie: no

You cannot bring in anythig you have to buy white underwear from the commissary and again this is a racket and someone is getting rich...who is getting the kick backs?
