Best Answer

This refers to people imprisoned for their beliefs. It has many applications and examples, but if one is strongly committed to a principle or ideal, enough to be sent to jail for choosing to live it in defiance of political authority, he/she is a prisoner of conscience. There is also a metaphorical application, too.
