The Covenant | The Covenant are known to incarcerate convicted client species in ''[[High Charity]]'' and in other detention facilities, where they are often tortured and disposed of. In some cases, Sangheili or Jiralhanae guards disposed of criminals by feeding them to [[Kig-Yar]] convicts, who would eat the victim alive.<ref>'''Halo 2''', ''campaign level'', ''[[The Arbiter]]''</ref> | ||
Covenant cells and prisons are seemingly segregated by race. One such penitentiary, called [[Weeping Shadows of Sorrow]], detained only [[Sangheili]] convicts. It was at this very facility where [[Ripa 'Moramee]] was incarcerated after being found guilty of staging a coup against his clan's [[Kaidon]]. 'Moramee's sentence was annulled when he was appointed [[Arbiter]] by the [[Prophet of Regret]].<ref>'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref> | Covenant cells and prisons are seemingly segregated by race.

As an act of penance, [[Forerunners]] who had committed crimes could volunteer to be reformed and serve the [[Juridical]] [[rate]] as evidence-gathering agents. Those who did had their biological bodies reduced to a shriveled form and encased in a mechanical carapace. They were stripped of their individuality and personhood, becoming a collective entity committed to investigating criminal actions by citizens of the [[Ecumene]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Silentium]]''', ''page 24''</ref> | As an act of penance, [[Forerunners]] who had committed crimes could volunteer to be reformed and serve the [[Juridical]] [[rate]] as evidence-gathering agents.
