What is Prison uniform?
{{no sources|date=March 2022}} A '''prison uniform''' is a standardized suit inmates in correctional and other incarcerating facilities are made to wear. The purposes of such [[uniforms]] are to humiliate prisoners as part of the punishment, making it easier to prevent [[prison escape]] by making it easy to spot an inmate in the process of escaping or who has just escaped, to greatly limit the possibility of [[self harm]] that's easier with free world clothes, identifying inmates on [[chain gangs]] in areas that still use them, promoting [[Social equality|equality]], etc. In North America, prison uniforms usually are styled after [[jumpsuits]] or medical [[scrubs (clothing)|scrubs]], though other varieties are also used. Jumpsuit style uniforms usually have short sleeves. [[Category:Prisons]] [[Category:Uniforms]]
