custodial sentences

• A custodial sentence is a type of punishment where someone is sent to prison for a certain period of time as a result of being found guilty of a crime.
• When a judge or jury determines that a person is guilty of a crime, they may impose a custodial sentence, which means the offender will be taken into custody and confined in a prison for a specific length of time. 
• During a custodial sentence, the offender's freedom is significantly restricted, and they will be subject to a range of rules and regulations meant to maintain safety and order within the prison or jail. 
•  Custodial sentences are typically used for serious crimes and are meant to ensure public safety and hold the offender accountable for their actions.
