Greer County Sheriff Devin Huckabay says the new suits replace the faded and tattered orange jumpsuits worn until now.
Huckabay says male inmates "don't like wearing them" and that the snazzy jumpsuits therefore are an incentive to not break the law and wind up in jail.
He says the prisoners wearing pink are also "hard to miss" and so can be easily managed when working on community projects or being transferred.
