jail delivery

Read a random definition: drop-shipment delivery

A quick definition of jail delivery:

Term: Jail Delivery

Definition: Jail delivery refers to when several prisoners escape from a jail or when all prisoners at a jail are tried for the crimes they are accused of committing. In the past, it was also a commission given to judges to clear a jail by trying and either acquitting or condemning all the inmates. Sometimes, if many prisoners are acquitted due to problems with the law or its administration, it is called a general jail delivery.

A more thorough explanation:

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.
