My brother told me that when he got arrested for drug possession and put him in holding, they took his socks. He kept asking when they would return his socks, but they did not answer. The drunks got to keep their socks. He said his feet had never been so cold as they had on that night. His speculation was that it was perhaps easier to count them with the sock divide.
They also give blankets at around 2 or 3 am. But then they wake everybody up at five and take the blankets!
That’s just not nice.
