Historically, many monasteries had a prison in which monks or nuns might be confined for serious offenses. Elements of the modern civil prison system in the West are based on the monastic model. (Nowadays, Catholic monks and nuns are more likely to face punishment by armed rebels, and state forces than from any operation of rules of their own internal organization. For example, during the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet era, and during World War II, numerous priests and nuns were removed from their convents and monasteries and sent to concentration camps or were shot. As recently as the 1996, several French monks living in a remote region of Algeria were beheaded by terrorists.)
