A '''convict''', also called a '''prisoner''', is | A '''convict''', also called a '''prisoner''', is an individual serving a sentence of imprisonment after they are found guilty of a crime by a law authority. Individuals can be imprisoned for various reasons ranging from minor violations like theft to major crimes such as [[piracy]], [[terrorism]], and treason. Convicts are convicted and incarcerated by their own peers unlike [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]], who are combatants imprisoned by enemies forces following an armed conflict. 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]]''', ''page 294''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> | ||

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> | |||
Prior to the [[Great Schism]] in [[2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] ordered that all imprisoned and criminal Jiralhanae were to be released, rehabilitated, and pardoned.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars Timeline Events]]'''</ref> | Prior to the [[Great Schism]] in [[2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] ordered that all imprisoned and criminal [[Jiralhanae]] were to be released, rehabilitated, and pardoned.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars Timeline Events]]'''</ref> | ||
Although not seemingly convicted of any crimes, the [[Unmutuals]], asocial Yanmee'e who suffered from personality disorders, were sentenced to work to death in penal colonies operated by Sangheili and Kig-Yar guards.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "[[Blunt Instruments]]"</ref> | Although not seemingly convicted of any crimes, the [[Unmutuals]], asocial Yanmee'e who suffered from personality disorders, were sentenced to work to death in penal colonies operated by Sangheili and Kig-Yar guards.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "[[Blunt Instruments]]"</ref> | ||
In addition, disgraced warriors found by the [[High Council]] to be guilty of [[Heretic|heresy]] would be publicly tortured and branded with the [[Mark of Shame]], only to be sentenced to death soon after. This fate awaited Supreme Commander [[Thel 'Vadamee]] following his defeat at [[Installation 04]]. The terms of his execution were left in the hands of the [[Hierarchs]], who overruled the council and allowed 'Vadamee to redeem himself by becoming the next Arbiter. | |||
