Prison uniform

When people do something wrong and break the rules, they might have to go to a place called prison. In prison, the people who broke the rules have to wear special clothes that are called prison uniforms.

These are not normal clothes like we wear to school or to play outside. They look like pajamas and they are all the same color, usually white, gray, or orange.

This is because the people in prison are all being punished for doing something wrong, so they don't get to wear their own clothes. The prison uniforms are the same for everyone, so nobody feels different or special.

Also, the prison staff can easily recognize the prisoners because they are all wearing the same uniform. And, if somebody tries to escape from prison, they will be easy to spot because they will be wearing these special clothes.

So, in summary, prison uniforms are special clothes that people in prison have to wear as part of their punishment. They help keep everyone safe by making it easy to spot who is in prison and who is not.
