or do they just get an inmate number to mark their grave?

I'm asking this in Religion and Spirituality because this seems to always have the most people in it to respond.

The burial plot can be a part of the sentence and if the family doesn't want to pay for a funeral then the inmate just gets a prison grave in the prison graveyard outside the prison wall or yard. In this case yes they get a number on their grave to establish who they were not what they done just their identity. These are called markers,the ones in the Mansfield Ohio State Reformatory Graveyard can be seen every year at Halloween.

If someone claims the body. Some of the people have no one to do that so they get buried at the prison cemetery.

In my state, the body is released to the next of kin if it is requested or not, if the family refuses the corpse, the body will be buried on the prison property and the family will be billed for the interment. If there is no relative, the state absorbs the cost.

Of course not! You big silly! They get to be buried in an unmarked grave inside the walls of the prison at which they breathed their last....and fittingly also. Makes for very fertile ground, and once its been raked over a few times, they plant veggies in the plots, and let all the Vegans eat the produce, its called "organic".
Yumm!

if they have family that want them buried in a cemetery they go there, if no one claims them they go into the prison cemetery. its the same with everyone that dies in prison.

They are only put in a 'Potter's field' if the body goes unclaimed. Otherwise, the family can make their own arrangements.

well i believe it varies from state to state but if your in a federal prison and your sentenced to 200 years then you have to be there 200 years dead or alive but after the sentence elapses you may exume the corpse and bury it where you want it to be, sad but true.

It is entirely up to the person's family where he is buried.

It's up to the family whatever they feel is best to do.
