The goal of this change is to “discourage recidivism, enhance visibility for corrections officers in identifying potential threats, and create a calming atmosphere, as the color pink is believed to help alleviate feelings of anger.”
GCSO says the initiative seeks to foster a positive environment within the correctional facility.
Inmates volunteered for a photo as the first group in the Galveston County jail to be issued the new safety pink jumpsuits:
