US Inmates 'Forced to Wear Dirty Underwear'

There should be two tone underwear-brown in the back and yellow in the front-then they would never be dirty.

So what, the average person who was protesting in Madison does the same thing.

This is so dam easy it’s crazy. Just have them change under wear...........................with each other.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Exactly! How about worrying about their victims instead of the criminals?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“Blago about to go commando?”

Awe, Geeze! Did ya HAVE to go there? LOL!

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Any chance of letting these guys do their time in china?

I had my physical yesterday....the doc said he wanted a stool sample, urine sample and sperm sample.

I left my skivvies on the table and told him "Mission Accomplished".

[Chode]

i guess i'd be tooo much for the convicts to wash their own skives

A clothing shortage is forcing inmates in at least one Illinois prison to wear the same underwear several days in a row, causing a health and hygiene concern, a watchdog group said.

Cool! Just like the Middle East!

Maybe if enough Illinois politicians feared going to prison they’d prioritize their state spending better. Obviously sending 4 of their last 8 governors there hasn’t been enough. Blago needs roomies.

And from now on it would seem, that joke might include HIM and HERS.

Sometimes, in a similar situation, I would just quietly collect the shorts and sox and put them in the hamper.

Outraged complaints! “I only wore them once!”

However, since this an Illinois State Prison, it should probably be referred to the UN as a breach of Human Rights. I am sure the Governor has some contacts at the UN. Let him whine to them about how broke his state is.

Underware is for insecure people that find themselves unprepared when opportunity arises.

Nothing you would need to know about.

I still have some, in some duffle bag. Issue tighty whiteys. Never used, maybe never even unpacked except for pre-deployment inspection. The BCD glasses are with them. Haven't seen them for years.

I did prison medicine clinic for 2 years.. Most of the inmates have multiple chronic illnesses such as hepatitis, herpes,fungal infections, mrsa, and other goodies as side benefits from the life style that landed them in prison to begin with.. As others have pointed out guess washing the duds out in the sink (or commode if they haven’t packed it full of toilet paper to make it overflow) is out, or , what about leaving the underoos on and jumping in the shower ?.. In Viet Nam I went 27 days without taking a bath due to the water supply being blown up and multiple parasites in the stream (swamp) that was available and it didn’t kill me.. You haven’t lived until you roll over in the bed and have your armpit wake you up.It was a sight when the first thunderstorm rolled in with 50 naked gi joes standing in pouring rain with a bar of soap praying, don’t stop yet !!!! don’t stop yet..

ROFL - Ewwwwwwwwwwww

[Labyrinthos]

Please don’t laugh, but my family was so poor and dysfunctional growing up that I often had to wear my sister’s hand-me-down underwear — and I’m a guy. I have never been convicted of a crime. These people need to get over it.

[oldsicilian]

Besides, each has two sides. So that’s enough for 8 days by my reckoning. Plenty of time to do some laundry.

[Drango]

Just like college...(just sayin’)
