I would like to know, does anyone know examples of areas that use prison uniform colors other than the standard orange? I would like to know.

Here are two I know:
-Maricopa County, Arizona uses pink for male inmates.
-New York State uses green uniforms, and actually bans the color orange.

New York must be nuts. Pink is the "in" color.

New York has used green for a long time as far as I know (well before Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County decided to use pink for male inmates).
