RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Security

Prison

Sanction
That part of a law which inflicts a penalty for its violation, or bestows a reward for its observance. Sanctions are of two kinds, those which redress civil injuries, called civil sanctions; and those which punish crimes, called penal sanctions.
Rules
English law. The rules of the King's Bench and Fleet are certain limits without the actual walls of the prisons, where the prisoner, on proper security previously given to the marshal of the king's bench, or warden of the fleet, may reside; those limits are considered, for all legal and practical purposes, as merely a further extension of the prison walls.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------

"In some US states, a law allowing the state to collect money from prisoners to help defray the costs of imprisonment.

Not more than 90% of the assets can be secured. Assets include payments from worker?s compensation, veteran?s compensation, previously earned salary or wages, bonuses, annuities, and retirement benefits.
