A '''convict''', also called a '''prisoner''', is an individual imprisoned and deprived of personal freedoms after being found guilty of a crime by some form of authority. Individuals can be imprisoned for various reasons ranging from minor violations like theft to major crimes such as murder, [[piracy]], [[terrorism]], and [[treason]]. Convicts are incarcerated by their own peers unlike [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]], who are combatants imprisoned by enemies forces following an armed conflict. While in captivity, prisoners are typically fitted with [[physical restraints]]. Both [[human]] and [[Covenant]] often send their convicted criminals on [[prison ship]]s to distant labor and correctional facilities, known as [[Penal colony|penal colonies]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia | A '''convict''', also called a '''prisoner''', is an individual imprisoned and deprived of personal freedoms after being found guilty of a crime by some form of authority.

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.
