imprisonment and captivity as between prisoner and cap- 
tive. (See captive.) Confinement is the most general word 
for being kept within bounds against one's will, as by force 
or sickness ; we speak of solitary conjinement, and, figur- 
atively, of too great conjinement (though voluntary) to 
one's books. Incarceration is the being put into a jail or 
prison ; the word is rhetorical, suggesting ignominy, with 
narrow range and great safeguards against escape. Im- 
murement, literally shutting within walls, is now freely 
figurative ; in either sense it suggests depth of separation 
or seclusion from friends, home, or the world, and small CapuClHau.et 
likelihood of getting or coming out. (See servitude and 
serf.) 
Even like a man new haled from the rack, 
So fare my limbs with long imprisonment.
