PRISON AND JAIL UNIFORMS

FASHION FOR THE INMATES

Many times inmates wear uniforms of the facility where they are located. Some places have one piece jumpsuits, others use two piece scrub type uniforms. In some areas the "Old chain gang times" are back: Jail officials named security as the top reason for the change from solid colored uniforms. They said they made the change to reduce the chance of inmates being mistaken for workers in uniform. Black-and-white striped uniforms are unmistakably prison garb.
