Best Answer

They are the buildings where soldiers live and sleep or any buildings used to house military personnel. (A building is usually referred to as 'the barracks' instead of 'a barrack.') In some prisons, housing units not consisting of cell blocks are referred to as barracks.

"Barrack" is also used as a verb meaning to provide temporary housing.

The term "barracks" (meaning housing for military personnel) is sometimes used for prison buildings that are not cellblocks, as in minimum security installations. It can also apply to sleeping accommodations for prison guards.

Another term for military prisons is "disciplinary barracks."
