No I have never heard of Bob Barker soap or toothpaste. My woman here says they used to have it years ago but they got rid of it when the sheriffs wife took the canteen operations over
Ah, that explains it.
Man, you need to visit more jails!
(I've only seen the inside of three of 'em and never longer than a weekend.)
I used to deliver cleaning supplies to several small town jails years ago for my job. Those seemed a lot more laid back than the jail I been in
The most time I spent around a jail was around the brig when I was a transportation officer. Even those inmates had Bob Barker stuff, though we used the term 'detainees' most often. They also had some much better rules once they were convicted. Amusingly, the brig's location was right there in Norfolk. Our maximum capacity was like 145 people. You can look up "Navy Brig Norfolk VA" if you're curious.
