JM: Did you have a set uniform? What did it look like?
Karen: Yes I had a purple scrub uniform indicating I was a labor detail worker.

JM: Were there any assigned clothes in high demand that an inmate should look for when getting clothing assigned?

Karen: Yes the women in solitary confinement wore orange solid uniforms, the males in solitary confinement wore yellow uniforms, the women in regular cell 42 wore solid light blue uniforms, the males in regular cell wore solid red uniforms, and labor detail female inmates wore purple uniforms and the males wore white uniforms.
