prison record
Convict's permanent file
A prison record is documentation of a person's history of incarceration, or the fact of having served time.
Having a prison record can affect employment, housing, and civil rights: His prison record made it hard to find work.
Often used interchangeably with criminal record, though technically a prison record specifically indicates actual imprisonment rather than arrests or convictions that didn't result in jail time.
