Officials at the Douglas County Jail say something as simple as warm clothing is important for personal dignity — and even survival. Deputies are collecting jackets, sweatshirts, thick winter socks, mittens and other types of warm clothing for men and women who are released from the jail in Superior. This time of the year they walk outside into harsh winter conditions. Without adequate clothing, those newly-free people face major obstacles getting to their next destination. Any kind of clothing which can be layered under jeans in men’s and women’s sizes is welcome.
