About Convict

A convict is a person who has been convicted of a crime in the court of law. They are usually in prison and serving their sentence by the time the name “convict” is given to them. Another use of the word would be ex-con, which means the person has been released and rehabilitated at a prison. The sentences can vary for convicts depending on what crime they commited. The use of the word convict dates back to the British goals in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Dressing up as Convict

Convict costumes will vary depending on what century you wish to choose from. The most popular Convict costume is the white and black stripes. This particular pattern comes in a variety of styles from miniskirts and tight shirts to pants and a long sleeve shirt. The costume generally is completed with a round hat to match the main costume and an ankle weight. Other convict costumes are orange jumpsuits or dresses, which are most typical in today’s prisons.
