penal custody

Read a random definition: colorable imitation

A quick definition of penal custody:

Penal custody is when someone is kept in a place as punishment for a crime they committed. It's different from other types of custody, like when parents take care of their children or when someone is kept safe from danger. Custody can also mean being held by the police or other legal authority. A custody determination is a court order that decides who gets to take care of a child and when they get to see their parents.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Penal custody is a type of custody that is intended to punish a criminal offender. It is a form of detention that is imposed on a person who has been found guilty of a crime.

Example: A person who has been convicted of a serious crime, such as murder or rape, may be sentenced to penal custody. This means that they will be confined to a prison or jail for a certain period of time, as a punishment for their crime.

This example illustrates how penal custody is used as a form of punishment for criminal offenders. It is a way for society to hold people accountable for their actions and to deter others from committing similar crimes.

@1a2b3c4d26z: Who knows what's going on with her. Cynical is probably the only one who has somewhat of an idea. Impossible to read.

I feel there were so few As for how many spots they supposedly had left
FascinatedTalentedCatfish
20:35
I disagree with Eggan. I think given the competition this cycle, schools are going to have less people declining their A's. I think Berk is essentially done if not totally done until deposit deadlines as of today.
