The inmates are individuals who are confined in a correctional facility, such as a prison or jail, due to legal convictions. They may have committed various offenses, ranging from minor crimes to serious felonies. Inmates typically serve time as part of their punishment and may participate in rehabilitation programs aimed at reducing recidivism. Inmates live under strict rules and regulations, which govern their daily activities, interactions, and privileges. Their experiences can vary widely based on the facility's environment, the nature of their offenses, and the support systems available, including access to education and mental health services.
