In an ordinary prison, whatever the light struck including dust particles in the air or other objects in the path of the light, would cause it to scatter and provide illumination, some of which might be enjoyed by the prisoner. Prisons are often illuminated with artificial light and/or light from secure windows or external venting, and sometimes have external courtyards for exercise open to the sky and natural light.

If we're talking about a "prism" here, then, white light at a favorable angle would usually get separated into its component colors of our familiar rainbow spectrum, with blue being scattered the most and red the least. If you have a look at the Pink Floyd "Dark Side.." album cover, will give you a good rough idea of what will happen to white light.
