prison

Prison is a place of detention where people who have committed criminal offenses are incarcerated. Currently, the term is in vogue following the case of a young 18-year-old Frenchman in Singapore who risks a prison sentence for licking a straw and putting it back in a vending machine. This situation, widely relayed on social networks, highlights the severity of the laws and penalties incurred in certain countries, even for acts perceived as minor.
