Human Rights Association İstanbul Branch has stated that “prison uniform is a violation against the prohibition of discrimination and torture and this practice will also violate the rights of defense and fair trial.”

Incarcerated lawyer Şükriye Erden has written to bianet: "Prison uniforms are an affront to inmates' political identities and honor. They are geared toward alienating, de-personalizing, and militarizing inmates. We will not wear them."
