Why do some inmates button their collars if it is not required?

In prisons like Alcatraz, it was "just another rule" for the inmates to follow.

Wardens often felt that buttoned collars were "formal" and wanted mugshots taken and meals eaten with buttoned collars.

Most inmates felt it was humiliating. All of those reasons made buttoned collars common in the 20th century.

You will also commonly see a buttoned collar immediately after intake, during court proceedings, at juvenile facilities or military brigs.

Some inmates (Hispanic gangs) do button collars as a gang symbol.

I have a similar fetish, so different than my actual life. I'd like to get an authentic stenciled jail orange jumpsuit, orange flipflops and chain restraints, but not much luck. Doubt these are easy to get for fantasy role play. Love your blog.

I have several in my collection and am more than happy to help
