What Does One Wear to Jail

One of the oddest things to see is just what people are wearing when they get to jail. I have seen people in everything from a Wedding dress or Tux to nothing, and every imaginable combination in between. The point is that of course nobody plans to land in jail. The interesting part is to find out exactly what they were thinking at the time. Some of the answers may surprise you.

One of the more common things for women to wear believe it or not is a nightgown. Sound strange, it’s not really. Let me share a typical scenario with you that will shed some light. It’s late at night and you’re at home relaxing after a long day. You have put your nightgown on, or whatever you wear to bed. You are having a couple beers and watching TV. You reach for a cigarette and discover that you ran out. You don’t want to get dressed to go to the store, but you sure don’t want to be without smokes. The store is just down the street on the corner. It’s late and no one would be out. At least that’s what you think. So you grab your keys and head out. You are a little excited and proud of yourself for being so adventuresome. You are being cautious and looking around to make sure no one sees you. You get to the store and run inside. To your surprise, there are people out, but they don’t know you and you just don’t care. You get your smokes and run back out to the car, just as a patrol car pulls into the parking lot. You get scared now; you fumble to find your keys. The cop gets out and approaches you. Miss, is there a problem. No sir, I just ran up here to get some cigarettes. May I see your license and registration? The scenario plays out and sure enough, there you are in intake in your night gown for DUI.

Care to try another one. Let’s try that Tuxedo. Lets see, its’ not as common, but it happens all the time. It’s your wedding day; you’re on top of the world, one minute and shaking in your shoes the next. You have surrounded yourself with a few friends to support you through this day. A couple drinks for the nerves. You get dressed and off to the church to take that big step. You drive of course because that always seems to calm you down. You’re laughing and joking with your friends to ease the butterflies in your stomach. All of a sudden someone pulls out in front of you and you slam on your breaks. No good, it’s too late. You smash right into the car. You jump out see the damages, and to chew that person’s butt. Oh, God, the person in the other car is injured. You do what you can to help. Everything is surreal at this point. This is your wedding day, how did all this happen. Some one called the police and as they pull up, you’re actually glad to see them. Remember, the accident wasn’t your fault. You explain what happened to the Cop, and he asks for your information. You hand it over without a second thought. You can take the scenario from there. By the way, you missed your wedding.
