Prisoners of Halloween

Answer 1

When most think of prison costume, black and white striped jumpers complete with ball and chain are usually the norm. While this sort of costume is still quite popular, there are enough variations on it to give the wearer room for creativity. Additionally, since modern day prisoners no longer dress as though part of a chain gang, it is possible to create a more contemporary prison appearance. In addition to this, would-be prisoners can go the extra mile by dressing up as a psychotic prisoner from contemporary or historical times.

Traditional Prisoner Costume

For men, the Prisoner Male Adult Costume, the Prisoner Man Adult Costume , Mens Plus Size Jailbird Costume and the Jailbird Convict Costume Adult offer convincing takes on a traditional look. Meanwhile, men who are feeling particularly outrageous can try the Adult Men's She Mate Prison Halloween Costume, while those needing a psychotic look can't go wrong with the Mens Convict In A Cage Costume. For boys, the Haunted House Child Prisoner Costume and the In The Clinck Costume Child Prison Uniform are ideal solutions. Women and girls will either have to purchase the traditional male costumes, or opt for slightly different takes on the old look. Women wear the Adult Sexy Prison Costume, the Fun Prison Bride Costume, the Adult Sexy Pink Prison Costume or the Prison Stripes-Womens Sexy Prison Costume. Each offers an ultra-femme take on the ball and socket routine. Girls can try out the Not Guilty Prisoner Teen Costume and the Miss Behaved Child for a girlish take on a classic costume. These costumes and more are available from Wholesale Costume Club, Costume Supercenter and Amazon.com.

Contemporary Prisoners

For a more modern look, sporting an orange jumpsuit stamped with an inmate number is the way to go. Men have great options with the Jailhouse Jumpsuit Adult Costume, Jail Bird, Mens Plus Size Got Busted Costume and Smiffy's Escaped Convict Prisoner Mens Orange Jailbird Costume. Women can choose from the Jailhouse Dress Adult Costume or don any of the men's costumes. Those who are feeling particularly psychotic can opt for the Psycho Cannibal Costume. These costumes and more are available from numerous retailers.
