VINTAGE PRISON STRIPES ARE BACK IN FASHION AT COUNTY JAIL.
The change back to striped prison uniforms most recently has occurred at the County Adult Detention Center in , where new jail uniforms now have broad stripes of denim blue and white.
The new uniforms replace the orange garb inmates have worn. "The main reason for the change was because of security." The Sheriff's Department decided to change the jail uniform colors when orange became too vogue -- especially among teens -- and not bold enough to easily spot inmates if they escaped into a crowd.
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.
The prisoner uniform makes it clear what their status is, and they'll get reported if they do things they are not allowed to do ...

HARD LABOUR FOR THE INMATES
The Director of the Department of Corrections will implement the following inmate labor regulations:
The director will require an offender of a correctional facility to perform hard labor suited to the offenders age, gender, and physical and mental condition. Labor is not restricted to the correctional facility, and can include road and maintenance work outside the facility.
When an offender is working outside the facility, the offender is in the actual custody of the superintendent of the correctional institution. The offender will be required to wear a brightly colored, readily identifiable uniform. Brightly colored signs will be posted in areas where offenders are performing off-site hard labor. The offender may be required to wear leg irons. At least two guards will be on duty when offenders are outside correctional facilities. Offenders will have no contact with the general public or receive any monetary compensation while performing hard labor. No offender convicted of a violent felony, sexual offense, or escape will be eligible for off-site hard labor.
The county jailer will cooperate with implementation of this program. The jailer may also use county jail inmates in hard labor. The same restrictions and rules required of state offenders will apply to offenders in county facilities. The county commission may establish further specific guidelines for the use of county inmate labor.
