Whatever Happened to Prison Stripes?

I can’t help but ask, “Whatever happened to prison stripes?”

So, I’m stuck at an airport, that shall remain nameless, and for some reason I keep on thinking about prisoners. Don’t ask. How come they don’t wear those black and white striped uniforms anymore?

With my life passing before my eyes in what seems to feel like slow motion I’ve decided to not waste several hours of my life away by watching other airplanes come and go but to use the “free” WiFi and write my blog entry. I quickly learned that prison stripes were abolished in the early 20th century because this “badge of shame” was thought to be “undesirable”! I won’t comment on that except that they really need to bring back the prison stripes.

So, here’s my way of bringing it back in these interior design examples. Enjoy…Oh, and we also have striped removable and reusable Casart wallpaper that can be customized for prison stripe decor 😉
