Prisons are buildings in which people are legally held as a punishment for a crime they have committed or while awaiting trial.

How Many Prisons Are There In Mauritius
Prisons are most commonly used within a criminal justice system: people charged with crimes may be imprisoned until their trial; those pleading or being found guilty of crimes at trial may be sentenced to a specified period of imprisonment.
Prisons can also be used as a tool of political repression by authoritarian powers. Their perceived rivals may be detained for political offences, often without trial or another lawful due process; this use is illegal under most forms of international law governing the fair administration of justice.
