The article deals with the study of the emergence of informal names of institutions of the penitentiary system. A brief description of the most famous places of detention, the history of their origin and the reasons for the occurrence of their names are given. The penetration of “prison culture” into society is studied. The deep meaning of informal names of institutions of the penitentiary system is considered. The names of famous figures of Russia, whose fate is somehow connected with places of imprisonment, are given. A conclusion about the relationship between the breadth of distribution of informal names of prison institutions and their purpose for life imprisonment is drawn.
