The Latin equivalent to the English word 'jail' is carcer. For the term may be translated as 'cell [of confinement]', 'jail', or 'prison'. The words 'catena' and 'vincula' apply to imprisonment, because they mean 'chain'. The word 'custodia' applies to house arrest, because it means 'care', 'custody', or 'watch guard'. And the word 'ergastulum' applies to private prisons, because it's a 'workhouse for debtors or slaves'.
