COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) - In a town where Cincinnati Bengals fans
are plentiful, jail officials in one northern Kentucky county think
orange jumpsuits may not be the best for making inmates stand out
in a crowd.
That's why this year, prisoners will be wearing pink. Hot pink.
Kenton County chief deputy jailer Col. Scott Colvin says he was
looking out his office window toward Paul Brown Stadium and noticed
all the Bengals fans dressed in orange. He told The Kentucky
Enquirer that if an inmate escaped, he might easily blend in with
the crowd.
Jailer Terry Carl approved the switch. The jail buys new
jumpsuits every year anyway, and the cost is the same, no matter
the color.
The jail replaced the orange jumpsuits on Friday.

Hasnt this prison had quite a few escapes?
It's easy to make comments until it's you, & yes, it can happen to you...
Pink It Is sounds a little pink himself. Go down to the county jail and tell the prisoners that. Make sure the guards leave for a few, you wimp.
