False/True imprisonment?

If false imprisonment is a crime, doesn't that mean that ';true imprisonment'; exists and is NOT a crime? Is there such a concept as true imprisonment?False/True imprisonment?
Of course. If a person is convicted by a jury of his peers, through the court system, and is sentenced to prison by a judge, that is the legal form of imprisonment. They don't call it ';true'; imprisonment, though.False/True imprisonment?
Yes...it is called a Jail Term, ';Being Detained,'; or; ';Held in Custody.'; Or, simply ';Being Arrested.';





As a Private Citizen, or even a Corporate Entity (generally), you can not legally restrict someone from coming and going as they wish, so holding them against their will can be False Imprisonment. A Property Owner or Agent For a Property Owner (i.e.: Security Personnel) - or, even Joe Average on the street under certain circumstances - *can* legally detain someone for pick-up by the Police.





Good Luck!
Yes. For example:


* grounding your children


* police custody


* prohibiting leaving a hospital if you're still ill
