TAMPA, Fla. – A Florida judge tired of seeing inmates' underwear because of sagging orange pants decided to take action this week.
Circuit Judge Daniel Perry delayed court for an hour and a half Wednesday, as he ordered the 61 inmates on his docket back to jail so that a handful of them could change into better-fitting — if not as fashionable — bottoms.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office reminded deputies of proper sizing methods for inmates and some spare pants were also delivered to the courthouse.
