Definition of jail delivery
Definition: Jail delivery refers to an escape by several prisoners from a jail. It can also refer to a clearing procedure by which all prisoners at a given jail are tried for the offenses that they are accused of having committed.
Examples:
- Several prisoners escaped from the county jail last night. This is an example of a jail delivery.
- During a general jail delivery, all inmates are tried for their alleged crimes. This can result in either acquittals or convictions.
The examples illustrate how jail delivery can refer to both an escape by prisoners and a legal process for clearing a jail of its inmates. In the first example, the escape of several prisoners is a clear instance of jail delivery. In the second example, the term refers to a legal process that can result in either acquittals or convictions for the inmates.
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.
