Florida Sheriff: No More Free Underwear for Prisoners
A Florida sheriff thinks jail inmates have had things too cushy—so hes taking away their free underwear. The Polk County Jail will now sell white briefs for $2.54 and white boxers for $4.48 to male inmates. Those who choose not to pay will have to go without, reports the Tampa Tribune.
This isnt the first time Sheriff Grady Judd has made changes in the jail. He previously instructed cooks to prepare less expensive meals, banned basketball-playing, and changed TV watching options from sports and violent shows to educational programs. Judd says the underwear initiative will save the county $45,000 per year. “Why shouldnt they pay like the rest of us pay?” he asks. “This is the county jail; its not a welfare program.”
