Prisons Cut Costs With Recycled Underwear

~

The state Department of Corrections (DOC) IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON has begun collecting used uniforms and underwear from inmates before they leave prison.

After minor repairs and laundering the clothing is passed on to new inmates, with half the clothing being handed out at the state's 13 prisons now being recycled.

Any clothing that cannot be used is sold to local businesses as rags.
