Jailhouse Swish
I think it’s more of a color-discrimination thing.
South Carolina’s prisons director on Tuesday defended a policy of punishing inmates who perform sex acts by dressing them in pink, despite a lawsuit claiming the rule subjects prisoners to ridicule.
Besides, the guy hasn’t even seen himself in pink yet:
Inmate Sherone Nealous, 31, filed the lawsuit in June 2006, claiming the Corrections Department “is placing inmates’ lives and physical well-being in danger.”
“The color ‘pink’ in an all male environment no doubt causes derision and verbal and physical attacks on a person’s manhood. This policy also gives correctional officers an easy avenue to label an inmate,” Nealous, who is serving a 10-year sentence for assault and battery with intent to kill, wrote in his lawsuit. Nealous has never actually donned the pink jumpsuit, according to agency spokesman Josh Gelinas. Nealous is currently separated from the general population, Gelinas said.
