For centuries prisoners have been confined by a dress code. From the striped suit introduced with the panopticon prison to the orange suit, clothes have been used as a tool to not just imprison the body but imprison the identity. Dress the Criminal examines bodies and behavioral structures in the correctional system through clothes, questioning the role of rehabilitation, visibility and power. Interviewing (Belgium and Israel) inmates, staff, and family members, we map the materials, cuts, and choreography in prison, collected reflections about how fashion affects the notion of doing time, and the way of getting dressed, whether of superstition, limitations or the way one wants to present themselves. We assembled stories and rules into biography and document them in a series of installations and performances. Outfits crafted by a system of restrictions next to rights, the project interrogates the legal act of design, writing a civil law act redesigning the outfit for the penitentiary.
