Prison is used world-wide as a form of punishment or detention for men, women and children, within a functioning criminal justice system, and its use can be traced back to the rise of the earliest forms of state or social organisation in which humans have lived.

They can be used as a tool of political repression, or a means of detaining large groups of civilians during times of war.
