Yesterday, local Justice of the Peace asked me to go to the jail and do a formal DUI court screening. Got a chance today when a client no showed to their appointment.

Today I'm wearing my USA Kilts casual MacLean Hunting tartan kilt, green kilt hose, no flashes, Z Coil shoes, white shirt and green sweatervest.

Have worked and volunteered behind bars for many years so know the drill on what's allowed. Took off my kilt pin and sporran and left them in the car. Just took in car keys in my jacket pocket.

To get to our jail you have to go through the County Sheriff's Office substation. There were three deputies on duty. The deputy who let me in is the husband of a coworker and he said, "We have a pool going here. Do you wear anything under your kilt?" My response was a most polite, "Only when I'm working." They laughed and the Sergeant said, "I win!"

Once in the jail no problem or comment from the Detention Officers, my inmate client, or other inmates. Did the screening and left. No problems.

Kinda fun to push the boundaries a little bit...thought there are other's who'd been behind bars kilted as part of their work...??

But hey, point is if I can wear a kilt to jail in the rural canyonlands of Arizona I expect one could, and should, wear a kilt most anywhere.
