In an attempt to lower the number of inmates in a Mason County jail, the warden has decided to blanket the building, bars, and inmates in pink.

Despite the cramped condition of the tiny jail, the inmates said sitting there was better than working outside, where they might be seen by people they know. Using pink uniforms in a pink jail is a small step to deter inmates from ever wanting to spend more time in the Mason County Jail, which might be getting too old to operate, said Sheriff Clint Low.

Manly men don’t wear pink right? And forcing inmates to wear pink during their sentence will surely prevent repeat offenders right? More interesting is where the idea was spawned from. Apprently inmates in an Airzona jail were a little to comfortable in jailhouse boxers which lead to a string of stolen inmate boxers. The Arizona jail stomped boxer theft by soaking white boxers in red dye making them pink. I guess pink is the anti-cool color?
