Hot-Pink Uniforms Ordered For Inmates

Compiled From Wire Services

The latest from the state that brought back chain gangs: hotpink uniforms for male inmates who habitually expose themselves to female guards.

The Corrections Department has ordered 50 of the garish outfits to be worn by public masturbators in an attempt to shame them into behaving.

Nothing else has worked, officials said Thursday.

“We’ve even taken pictures of them and told them we were going to send it to their mothers. They don’t care,” said Charlie Bodiford, a spokesman at 800-man Holman Prison.

Administrators are hoping the sexually aggressive inmates will change their ways once fellow prisoners get a look at them in pink pants and shirts.
