another one of my favorite Sheriffs won't give them any underoos!
POLK COUNTY, Fla. – It could get a little drafty for the male population of the Polk County Jail starting in August.
In an effort to cut costs, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd announced Thursday that the jail will no longer supply free underwear to male inmates who are booked into the jail.
In a budgetary brief <----hahaha to the media and county commission, Polk County Sheriff said that beginning August 1st, male inmates will no longer be issued the standard 5 pair of briefs. They will instead be asked to purchase them from the jail for $2.54 for briefs or $4.48 for the less constricting option, boxers.
According to Sheriff Judd, the move will save $45,000 a year in operating costs. "(That's) one person’s job we’re saving," Judd said. "If inmates want to wear underwear in jail, they can buy it, just like hard working Polk County citizens do,” says Sheriff Judd.
Women inmates will continue to receive 5 pair of underwear.
