REIMPRISONMENT Meaning and Definition

1. Reimprisonment refers to the act of incarcerating an individual once again after being released from a previous imprisonment. It occurs when a person who has served time in prison is found guilty of or commits another crime or violates the conditions of their probation, parole, or release. Reimprisonment may also be a result of a legal process in which an individual is convicted and sentenced to serve time in prison for a new offense.

   Reimprisonment can occur for various reasons. It may be the consequence of a repeat offense, which can be seen as a failure of the individual's reintegration into society. It can also be the result of a violation of the terms of their release, such as failing drug tests, committing new crimes, or failing to comply with probation or parole rules.

   The decision to reimprison an individual typically falls within the jurisdiction of the criminal justice system, which reviews the circumstances surrounding the new offense or violation. The severity of the crime, the individual's criminal history, and other relevant factors may be considered when determining whether reimprisonment is warranted.

   Reimprisonment can have significant implications for the individual's legal rights, personal life, and chances of successful rehabilitation. It often involves returning to a correctional facility, resuming the conditions of incarceration, and experiencing a loss of autonomy and freedom temporarily or for an extended period.

2. The act of confining again in prison after a release from it.

Etymology of REIMPRISONMENT

The word "reimprisonment" is derived from the combination of the prefix "re-" which means "again" or "back", and the noun "imprisonment".

The noun "imprisonment" originates from the Old French word "emprisonement" which is derived from the verb "emprisoner" meaning "to imprison". The word "emprisoner" was formed by adding the prefix "en-" (meaning "in" or "within") to the verb "prison" which means "to capture" or "to confine".

Therefore, the word "reimprisonment" follows a similar pattern, indicating the action of imprisoning again or returning someone to confinement after they have been previously released or freed.
