It may be justified to protect the public or the individual prisoner, but never as a punishment.

@SunshineGirl How does locking people up for months and years without seeing a judge protect the public?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Miram In the same way as locking people up indefinitely following a trial, I guess. But you didn't mention anything about avoiding the judicial.process in your original post.

Indefinite detention is the incarceration of an arrested person by a national government or law enforcement agency for an indefinite amount of time without a trial. The Human Rights Watch considers this practice as violating national and international laws, particularly human rights laws, although it remains in legislation in various liberal democracies.[1]
I provided the standard definition for those who don't understand what it means several times already in the comments. I didn't have to. People can learn what it means by a simple google search.
It means there is no trial prior to detaining them, no specified time limit.
A trial can actually demonstrate there is danger to the public, or not. So ,honestly, I don't see how detaining without a trial would be the same at all in any way.

@Miram I apologise, I didn't know the meaning. In which case I can't see any grounds under which it could be justified.

@SunshineGirl It is alright. Plenty of things I have no idea what they mean and I am sure you do. My apologies too if I sounded rude.
