{wiki=Prisons}
Prisons are facilities designed to confine individuals who have been convicted of crimes and sentenced to incarceration. They serve several primary purposes, including: 1. **Punishment**: Prisons impose a penalty on individuals found guilty of violating laws, reflecting society's condemnation of their actions. 2. **Deterrence**: By removing offenders from the community and subjecting them to the consequences of their actions, prisons aim to deter both the individual and others from committing similar crimes.
