A quick definition of carcer:

Term: carcer

Definition: Carcer is a word that comes from Latin and means "jail" or "prison". In history, it was used to refer to a place where people were held while waiting for their trial or punishment, rather than a place where they were punished. The word carcer is where we get the modern term "incarceration".

A more thorough explanation:

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.
