prison uniform
Convict's standard clothing
Prison uniform is the standardized clothing worn by incarcerated people, typically designed to be easily identifiable and difficult to conceal.
The classic image is an orange jumpsuit or black-and-white stripes, though actual colors vary by institution.
Prison uniforms serve practical purposes—preventing escape, maintaining order—while also marking the wearer's status as a prisoner: He was still wearing his prison uniform when they found him.
