Prision dress code

Published

Hello All,

I'm going to start at a prision very soon. I'm a little confused about the dress code. I thought it should be no solid blue, and orange. However, when I received the memo, it stated that " No solid black" on top of orange and blue....so I cannot wear my solid black pants??? Really? I mean I don't mind it, I just dont want to spend more money on my scrubs since all my bottom are solid black :(

thanks

I think they mean no black top with solid black bottoms- all black

That usually means you can't wear all black, but black pants with a purple top would be ok. You don't want to be mistaken as an inmate do you?

It's a beautiful day to save lives.

I know exactly what you mean blue sky. I don't want to buy scrubs that I won't be able to wear.

You know, one of the perks I got out of coming to work in the jail as a RN (was a cop before RN) is so that I could start wearing uniforms again and get out of scrubs, lol. Once I finish my Psych NP program I figure I'll have to graduate to business casual or some type of dress clothes though. Me and scrubs just never got along, lol.

Specializes in most of them.

Our prisoners wear a forest green shirt and pants, so we can not wear green. I wear regular scrubs. All my cartoon tops, as long as they are loose enough. As a formeer rehab nurse all of my scrubs are loose anyway.
