[edit] Topic
I think this article should be changed to Prison uniform of the United States and Prison Uniform of Britain or else have more countries added to the list.Remilo (talk) 15:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Name of article
I think this should be inmate or prisoner uniform. "Prison uniform" is to generic and could apply to correction officers who wear uniforms and work in prisons.Paul E. Ester 14:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I thought this article was about what the Prison officers wear not what the inmates wear, before I read it. Dep. Garcia 20:54, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

- I disagree. The term "prison uniform" is far more widely used than either "inmate uniform" or "prisoner uniform," and it is generally understood to mean the uniform worn by prisoners. Wikipedia policy is to use the common name. —Lowellian (reply) 04:04, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please clarify
Hi, this article wasn't very clear to me.
I was wondering about the "orange scrubs" and the "working cloths".
Which ones are used, and in which prisons? Do they all look the same, or are there variants?
[edit] The Picture in the Britain section.
Why is there a picture of Dutch jews in Buchenwald in the Britain section? Also why is there no mention of the grey/blue uniform that prisoners wore at least into the 80's if not today (seen famously in poridge). The article needs a section at the begining on the philosophy/reasons behind prison uniform. I also think the sections should be renamed United States of America and The United Kingdom respectively.(Morcus (talk) 00:18, 29 May 2008 (UTC))
[edit] Actions required
I have now merged the histories to fix the cut and paste move by User:Ozdaren. However, I notice that the page move has left no less than 9 double redirects; Wikipedia:Double redirects refers. Perhaps User:Ozdaren might like to fix those, please? TerriersFan (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
