WHO CUT THEIR HAIR? they cut their own hair, or didn't in some cases
Even if there were answers to the latter two questions (they smuggled in a year's supply of razors in the middle of a zombie apocalypse), WHY would they bother to maintain their hairstyles? habit, and short hair is useful in most situations. a knife can be sharpened to a razors edge fairly quickly, and using only rudimentary tools. long hair may be a result of a lack of maintenance
Also, how did the Caucasians and Latin gentlemen stay so tanned? the latino gentleman is naturally tan, that's why he's latino. and i know some white guys who don't spend a lot of time outside, but the have really dark skin pigment
It gets better - 1 well fed guy will produce over 300 pounds of excrement and well over 100 pounds of urine in a year's time. Multiply that by five and the cooler they were pooping in would not be big enough, plus the ammonia in all that urine in an enclosed space would kill them. Even if it didn't, it would not only bleach their prison jumpsuits, but cause them to disintegrate. remember when rick opened the freezer? a prison freezer has to be large enough to acommodate several days worth of food for several thousand inmates. latrine. also, there were bars on the windows, but the windows weren't sealed. excrement could be thrown outside.
Plus, the smell....wow. Imagine how much sweat they would have produced in that amount of time - they would have looked as though they were covered in crude oil and probably filled with parasites like scabies. Plus, scurvy! prisons keep large ammounts a water on hand for emergencies, plus there would be cleaners in there. as far as scurvy or scabies, there are ways to get around that.
I quite literally hate myself for watching the walking dead religiously, but it is quite literally the only game in town as far as zombie tv shows :/
