From nineteenth-century broad arrows and black and white stripes to twenty first-century orange jumpsuits, prison clothing has both mirrored and bolstered the power of penal institutions over prisoners' lives. This book offers an investigation of prison dress, which demystifies the experience of what it is like to be an imprisoned criminal.
