I used to frequent a board discussing the Scott Peterson trial, and at one point he was on suicide watch and there was much talk about this suicide suit. It's called a Ferguson Safety Smock.

Here's a bit of interview that mentions it, with reference to John Mark Karr...

He`s also under a suicide watch. He was very unhappy about that, but he will be segregated under the suicide watch, which are -- if I understand it correctly, there are clothes that are specially designed that you cannot make a knot out of them.

Here it is mentioned on the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare site
