proceedings (see column 11). The term indictment may also be used in a general and much wider sense. In the pre-trial stage any formal accusation of an offence, whether written or not, should be described as the charge if made to a suspect by the police or a prosecutor, as an information if laid before a magistrate; and as a complaint if made by a private individual. 2/ Prisoner is appropriate to describe a person imprisoned under any of the above circumstances. For a person convicted of an offence and serving a sentence of imprisonment (a person imprisoned as defined in the United Nations draft Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment), either prisoner or convict may be used. Gaoled can be used to describe a person undergoing any form of pre-trial or post-trial imprisonment. 10/ Another form of detention - non-judicial and in most cases not involving criminal proceedings, but frequently referred to in documents on human rights - is executive detention (e.g. detention without trial, detention of terrorists, detention of aliens in wartime, house arrest). In such cases the person detained is called a detainee and the term preventive detention is sometimes used. Detention is also the term used to describe the judicial or executive confinement of mentally disordered persons, and in addition is the name given in England to various judicial penalties which can be imposed on offenders between the ages of lA and 21.
