Prisoners demand their own pants

Barlinnie prisoners want to wear their own underwear

Inmates of Scotland's largest prison have complained of being forced to wear dirty and ill-fitting underwear, according to a report.
Barlinnie prisoners told inspectors that they were given prison-issue underpants, socks and vests which could be stained or not the right size.
The overcrowded Glasgow jail is the only one in Scotland to ban prisoners from wearing their own clothing.
Chief inspector of prisons, Dr Andrew McLellan, said the issue was a concern.
"You have to take what you are given," he added. "The underwear might fit or it might not, it might be unstained or not.
Concerns raised "I think it's a very important thing if you don't get a chance to wear you own underwear. We have seen underwear which has been washed but I wouldn't call it clean." The inspector called for personal underwear to be issued to individual inmates and suggested that prisoners were also allowed to wear their own clothes on occasions such as family visits.
