message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title: Name of article

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: Note correction to my edit summary, "I'm not going to argue with this disruptive editor". Keeps undoing my layout work without reasonable explanation. I told him/her to go ahead on content edits no problem, but compromise doesn't seem possible with this person. Going to look into dispute resolution. SlightSmile 16:31, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dispute about Image Layout 

message: This article should be about prison uniforms, but it betrayed an extraordinary interest in bare feet. Note (the removal of) this huge paragraph from the lead--a paragraph that in very woolly language tried to make the case that prisoners having bare feet is somehow incredibly important, but the sources attached are an overload of incidental news reports, YouTube videos, and unreliable sources, which do not prove the general point: that's synthesis. So, for instance, that prisoners in Iran get beaten on their bare feet is supposed to verify the claim: it does not.Many of the images also fetishize bare feet--here were three of them, with the bare feet noted in the captions (and I removed the "left" image, since images shouldn't sandwich the text). Worse, the pre-history of prison uniforms is reduced, in five awful and wordy paragraphs, to "barefoot"--a huge global and historical statement verified by, by what? a news report from a Harare jail. That's original research, unverified content, and unwarranted extrapolation.Finally, here I removed another slew of "left" images. Personally, I don't care which of these images are better, but they can't sandwich the text, and there were too many of them anyway. Drmies (talk) 15:38, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
