- Death Row inmates at Appalachian Detention Complex are permitted, under ADC policy, to wear approved personal clothing.
- Inmates sentenced to death must choose a single approved style of clothing immediately after returning to the prison following sentencing. Once approved by prison administrators, that clothing style cannot be changed for the remainder of the inmate's incarceration and is also designated as the clothing the inmate will wear at the time of execution.
- For practical reasons, the institution provides inmates with multiple identical sets of their approved clothing, allowing garments to be laundered and replaced as needed while maintaining the same appearance throughout their confinement.
EXCEPTION:
- Inmates sentenced to lethal injection are housed in standardized sleeveless athletic attire consisting of a plain white tank top, loose white gym shorts, white socks, and athletic shoes.
