And what about confinement, incarceration and imprisonment? Any difference between detention, detainment and detainer
|
I agree with Drag0nspeaker. On the other hand, I found another word that looks a synonym for the words detainment and detention in the context of holding a person in custody. The word is detainer. I look into a dictionary and found a similar meaning. Is there any difference between this word and the others two or they are interchangeable in this context with no exception?
