Support shirts for someone in jail or prison
Not a costume. No orange jumpsuit, no stripes. A shirt with their name on it, for the people waiting on them.
When someone you love gets locked up, life outside keeps going without them. A FREE shirt keeps their name in the room: at the cookout, at their kid's graduation, in the photos you send them. It tells everyone who sees it that they're coming home to people.
When people wear them
- Court dates and hearings, so he can see his people in the room (read the note below first).
- Birthdays and holidays inside. Wear it, take the picture, mail it to him.
- Fundraisers for a lawyer, bail or commissary.
- Rallies and vigils for someone wrongfully convicted or held too long.
- Release day. The whole family in matching shirts at the gate.
Before you wear it to court or on a visit
Some judges don't allow shirts, buttons or photos supporting a defendant in the courtroom, especially in front of a jury. Ask the lawyer first. If the answer is no, wear it outside the courthouse and change before you go in.
Jails and prisons have dress codes for visitors, and they differ from place to place. Check the facility's visiting rules before you wear any printed shirt to a visit.
Most jails and prisons don't let families mail clothing in. The shirt is for the people outside.
Making one
Type their name, pick black or white, and add a photo and a second line if you want them. You see the exact print before you pay. It's $35 with free shipping to the US and Canada, and most shirts arrive in 5–8 business days. There's more on what goes on a FREE name shirt, and a list of wording ideas if you're stuck.
What we won't print
Slurs, threats and hate. The wording is checked before you pay, so you'll know right away.
Where the dollar goes
A dollar from every shirt goes to Amnesty International, which works on unfair trials and the treatment of people in prison. Receipts are on the Commissary page.
