Hey all,
Actually, during the building of Folsom Prison in Northern CA. in 1852, inmate were broken down into two groups: supervisory and laborer. These inmates lived on a "prison ship" on the American River during the construction.
IIRC, the supervisor inmates wore uniforms with vertical stripes and the worker inmates wore uniforms with horizontal stripes.
