Presos

Presos (plural of preso, Spanish for "prisoner") refers to individuals who are incarcerated, detained, or otherwise held in custody as a result of legal proceedings or by governmental authority. The term encompasses individuals convicted of crimes and serving sentences, as well as those awaiting trial or facing other forms of detention. "Presos" can be used in a general sense to describe the entire population of incarcerated individuals within a specific facility, region, or country. The term often carries a connotation of being deprived of liberty and subject to the rules and regulations of a correctional institution. The conditions and rights of presos are often subjects of legal and ethical debate. The term is primarily used in Spanish-speaking contexts, though the concept it represents is universally applicable.
