Incarcerated individuals are people who are confined in a prison or jail due to being convicted of a crime. This confinement is a result of legal proceedings where they were found guilty and sentenced by a judge. The purpose of incarceration is to serve justice, deter crime, and rehabilitate offenders. These individuals may face various challenges while incarcerated, including limited access to education, healthcare, and social interactions. Programs aimed at rehabilitation, such as vocational training and counseling, are often available to help them reintegrate into society after their release.
