Imprisonment

Imprisonment is the practice of depriving individuals of their liberty and confining them in a penal institution, such as a prison or jail, as punishment for a crime they have committed. Imprisonment is typically used as a punishment for crimes that are considered particularly serious or harmful to society, such as murder, rape, or robbery. In some cases, individuals may also be imprisoned as a preventive measure, to prevent them from committing further crimes while they await trial. Imprisonment is intended to serve as a deterrent to crime, as well as to protect society by isolating individuals who have demonstrated a willingness to break the law.
