Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “pink underwear” for jail inmates may be punishment without legal justification, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a case involving a mentally unstable person who was not convicted of a crime. The man literally ran himself to death after he was released from the county jail where jailers forcibly stripped off his clothes and dressed him in pink underwear.
