Abstract: Terminology Incarcerated is a nonspecific term which refers to a person confined to a jail, prison, or other institution. Inmate (preferred term: incarcerated person) refers to a person confined in a correctional facility (jail or prison). Individuals who are classified as being on probation, parole, or supervised release, remain under court supervision and are allowed to serve some or all of their sentence while residing in the community.2 Jails are under municipal or county jurisdictions and house persons awaiting trial, sentencing, or transfer to another facility; those who have violated parole or probation; and some individuals who have been sentenced to less than a year in custody.3 State and federal prisons generally house persons who have been sentenced to greater than one year in custody.3.
