If they escape,orange-coloured clothing will always be noticeable against pretty much all backgrounds when they are on the run.

@MsSwan is right. The majority of prisons in America are located in rural areas. If a prisoner escapes, it would be difficult to hide in high grass, woods or forests.
I think it's to make them more visible if they were to escape.
