Definition of carcer
A carcer is a type of prison or jail that is used to detain people rather than punish them. The word comes from Latin and was used in both English and Roman law.
- When someone is arrested and awaiting trial, they may be held in a carcer until their court date.
- If a person has been sentenced to death, they may be held in a carcer until the execution.
These examples show how a carcer is used as a place of detention rather than punishment. It is a temporary holding place for people who are awaiting trial or execution.
The word "incarceration" comes from carcer, which is still used today to refer to prisons and jails.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
