Sheriff Grady Judd said the end of free underwear will save an estimated $45,000 a year in operation costs.
Judd in a statement said, "$45,000 is one person's job we're saving. If inmates want to wear underwear in jail, they can buy it, just like hard-working Polk County citizens do."
This isn't the first time the sheriff has invoked creative cost cuts.
He eliminated peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cornbread, coffee, juice and fresh milk from the jail menu a few years ago, saying if inmates wanted to eat those things they should stop breaking the law.

And I know you’re HARD CORE and if it was a family member of yours and no one had money to help him he should STARVE!!
And you’d be down with that wouldn’t ya cause you’re one tough sumbi.h
We do so many here claim to be Christian at all?
Food and underwear is a luxury?
STEAK is a luxury. Anything besides the minimum clothes to get through the week is a luxury.
But ....If you want PB and J don’t go to jail!!
What a tough guy he is!! And you!!
Give me a freaking break.
In Central America, if prisoners want to EAT, family has to provide the food.
Personally, I LIKE that idea, too.
Kudos to Sheriff Judd.
In the central prison, for food they put sand in with the rice to dehusk the rice. then rice, husks and sand were boiled for the mush. The locals knew they didn’t want to get arrested.
