There are may problems with this question. Firstly one should experience such things and then ask questions! Now let me state my objections.
Light does not stay in prism; rather it does not stay anywhere! It is always on the move! Light does pass through prism. When white light passes through prism it gets separated into its seven constituent coulours because white light which already contain these light rays travelling in the same direction now change their directions to different extent, hence they get separated. Two prisms kept in such a way so that the second prism cancels the deviation produced by the first for all colours, then this pair can work as pur refraction without separating colour to borrow your phraseology. But It will be best to to do these experiements with sun light ans two prisms

Any prism refracts into 7 colours! The matter is how much? The larger the angle at the prism top the more is effect of rainbow. Thin lenses refract less. Optic devices struggle against refraction using various means. It’s a very serious problem.

One step missed, they slow down in the prism during refraction, and each slows a different amount.
