MANGUM, Okla. (AP) - A southwestern Oklahoma sheriff is dressing county inmates in hot pink jumpsuits as a deterrent to crime and to make them easier to spot.
Greer County Sheriff Devin Huckabay says the new suits replace the faded and tattered orange jumpsuits worn until now.
Huckabay says male inmates "don't like wearing them" and that the snazzy jumpsuits therefore are an incentive to not break the law and wind up in jail.
He says the prisoners wearing pink are also "hard to miss" and so can be easily managed when working on community projects or being transferred.

The prison yard is going to look like a bunch of 2002 Cam'ron's. They should have to drive to their community projects in all pink Range Rovers too.
I don't know how much the color of a jumpsuit is going to deter people from committing crimes, by the way. If the thought of getting anally raped, beaten, shanked, or just being stuck away from society hasn't already altered your behavior then I don't think this Purple Haze era jumpsuit will make a difference. Hey I got an idea! Next year we can spray paint their heads and give them silver jumpsuits. Nobody wants to look like Sisqo. Right?
