In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the long-term human prisoners of Skynet wear ill-fitting, drab, dirty gray-white uniforms. At the California Institution for Women (CIW), one of the oldest prisons for women, the first "uniforms" were nearly indistinguishable from regular clothing. In a newspaper clipping, titled "Style is Not Forgotten," women were described as wearing "gay prints chosen by the inmates themselves" in lieu of drab uniforms. "Each woman chose the style and fabric which she desired," it explains. Orange is one of the most jail uniform colors. It’s unspecific and commonly used for any status in some prisons.

Sirius has a shirt and trousers, and Bellatrix has what looks like a striped hospital gown.Striped prison uniforms commonly used in the 19th century (the Auburn system) began to be abolished in parts of the United States early in the 20th century because their continued use as a badge of shame was considered undesirable.

Today, uniforms generally serve the practical purpose of providing a means to differentiate inmates from civilians and staff as well as to distinguish custody levels. In California, for example, orange jumpsuits are reserved for new inmates who haven’t yet been classified. Those in the general population wear some variation of blue, white and grey—for men, jeans or blue scrubs-like pants and shirt, as well as white t-shirts and grey sweatshirts. Women wear the same basic clothing—blue and white shirts and blue, chambray or denim pants. Inmates working on the perimeter—including those outside the prison gates—wear a green jumpsuit.

Released in 1977, this Burglar Bill was a children’s book by Allan Ahlberg and Janet Ahlberg, and focused on the titular character as he finds a baby and reforms his ways. In the book, the titular figure is illustrated wearing each element of the classic outfit: the domino mask, the striped shirt, the loot bag, and even the cloth flat cap. When he meets another burglar, she too is wearing the domino mask and striped shirt, instantly recognizable as a burglar. The prison in The Suffering has a very 1920s-30s feel to it (including guards with Tommy guns), but the prisoners all wear modern orange jumpsuits.
