This mod will provide you with a more sanitized version of prisoner biographies, first, last and nicknames that you will need to edit into your game files. Subscribe to the mod, open and close the game to download the mod, then read the README file in the mod's folder. You'll need to extract main.dat, replace a file and archive main.dat again, but the instructions are in the readme file.
After correctly installing this mod the interface that opens when you click a prisoner should be 'fixed'. Any prisoners in your prison that entered before you applied this mod will still have the wrong hover-over name. This is because their name is stored in the save file, which I can't edit for you. The mod comes with a python script that you can run on a different version of names if you wish, or you could edit to exclude even more nonsense.
