Prison mugshots
Not sure if this has been done before, but here are a few shots of women going through the booking procedure after being arrested for this or that offence.
I am not an American, so I am not sure exactly how the procedure goes. I am given to understand that no prisoner is allowed to take anything into jail, not even for a day or so - so any prisoner who cannot post bail has ALL possessions removed and inventorised.
These photos appear to be taken during the booking process - it is not clear whether the women are wearing "tube-tops" or other such garments, or if the mugshot is taken after their clothing has been removed and before their prison clothing has been issued. I guess there is no set sequence in which this happens and is down to how it pans out on the day.
Anyway - the first set of pictures are of women who would definitely rather be anywhere else than where they were right then!
I wil put up a few more if there is any interest in this...
