And yet few people know that the practice of wearing pants so there was ... in American prisons. Yes, that convicts US lawmakers have become part of youth fashion.

Initially style trousers "loose pants" was inevitable for the prisoners because they did not have funds to buy new clothes. They also do not have any straps or ropes, which could tighten the belt. Not hard to guess that this was due to frequent suicides in prisons. Also, inmates could use as a weapon belts in prison fights. And to somehow reduce mortality in prisons, the US government decided not to provide prisoners with belts, ropes and cords - for their own safety.

As a result, prisoners were forced to wear loose clothing, to which they soon become accustomed. Even after his release, former convicts continued to wear sagging pants.

This trend picked up by hip-hop artists back in the '90s and started shooting music videos, putting on pants down so popularizing the trend. Their fans, who want to be as close to their idols, they adopted this fashion.
