They may also be used to house those awaiting trial (pre-trial detention). Prisons serve two primary functions within the criminal-justice system: holding people charged with crimes while they await trial, and confining those who have pleaded guilty or been convicted to serve out their sentences
AI overview
A prison is a facility where the state confines people, either those awaiting trial or those convicted and sentenced for crimes. Prisons matter because they serve as a central part of the criminal-justice system by holding people accused of crimes before trial and by carrying out sentences for those found guilty.
