Consider Making Them Well-Dressed, and Well-Coiffed Prisoners

   If the dress of a man, and the hygiene, and the haircut and the looks of a man make a difference in his self esteem . . .
   If those things affect who we are . . .
   Then, this, too, should be used as a principle for correcting the prisoner. If we want to use every tool available to us, in reforming the criminal, then, perhaps, those orange suits should be reconsidered.
   Maybe keep them, maybe not. But, definitely consider going with more professional dress. A prison where everyone wears white shirts and ties? I don't know. Maybe.
   As for hygiene and a well-coiffed hairdo, yes.
   I heard today how a study showed prisoners receive better sentencing when their appearance is good. That shouldn't be. They should be sentenced according to their crime, not according to their looks.
   But, it got me thinking on how the prisoner, himself, might judge his own self by his looks
