Carceral

Carceral is an adjective that means related to prison.  Our word of the day may remind you of incarcerate — and for good reason. They both came from the Latin word Carcer (CAR cheh) which means jail or prison. Carceral is a broad term that means anything related to prison.  Our theatre troupe made seventeen performances last year. But that’s not including the carceral performances we made to entertain inmates.
