Police mugshots in the 1920s.

I was almost in disbelief when I stumbled across these gems of mugshots from the 1920s. Not only are they an interesting piece of history but I find it remarkable that none of the accused are in jail attire during their mugshots.

Now I pray none of our followers know this first hand, but in the modern day, once you are arrested, you are forced to change into jail-issued clothing and you are searched from head to toe before you are ever processed, fingerprinted or photographed.

It seems ever so odd that these men were allowed to remain dignified and stylish moments before getting locked up...
