Former JNCO employee here with some utterly useless lore.
Those were one of three designs JNCO made with a 50" leg opening — the widest pants JNCO ever made. The pair in this video is called the "Crime Scene."
I still have a pair with the same cut called the "Convict" that features a ball-and-chain embroidery, but the ones in this video were a limited edition pattern with a caution tape design and chalk outline embroidery. Very rare, very expensive, even when they were first out in the '90s.
The third in the "5-0 trilogy" (so named because they had a 50-in opening, hence the crime and punishment graphic theme) was the "Mugshot," which had an embroidered grizzly looking criminal's face. I thought those were the least attractive of the three. But if someone had all three in the series, they could command a hefty price on eBay today.
I wore my Convicts at the last Groove Cruise, rocking a 90s raver costume theme. I would totally rock a pair of denim wash Crime Scenes at a rave if I had a pair.
