1 a person who is kept in prison as punishment
Early this morning, armed police surrounded a house which they thought contained an escaped prisoner.
Cooped up in a small dark cell, the prisoner hadn't seen daylight for five years.
Hundreds of prisoners began a fast in protest about prison conditions.
Arrangements were made to move the prisoners to another jail.
More than half of all prisoners discharged are reconvicted within two years.
There were also improvements in the health care of prisoners and some penal institutions set up specially equipped cells for women giving birth behind bars.
The cycle is well explained by the prisoner's dilemma game.
Ironically, confinement of political prisoners helped forge national identity, fuelled opposition to colonialism, and provoked rebellions.
