Well we really do export things !! It's nice to see the Brits being well dressed in their prisons !!

Perhaps the Brits have not heard of the strategy of "search" when it comes to incarcerated felons? And I guess that putting them all into jumpsuits would
be considered "cruel" in the nanny state.

I didn't pay $92 for my Galco holster, I don't think I'll be paying that for a pair of jeans.

I find that to be kind of strange, as a general rule, British people don't really wear jeans. (Or t-shirts or sneakers for that matter, which are all three quintessentially American.)

Why would they put their prisoners in those pants? I more easily identify them if they break out?

The trousers are favoured by American street gangs but have only recently been seen in British prisons.

They are "favoured by American street gangs"? Really? I'd like a source for that gem.
