More on Detainee
Description from Wikipedia:
Detainee is a term used by certain governments and their military to refer to individuals held in custody, such as those it does not classify and treat as either prisoners of war or suspects in criminal cases. It is used to refer to "any person captured or otherwise detained by an armed force." More generally, it is "someone held in custody."
The word "detainee" is from the French word "détenu" and the French verb "détenir". In French, both "détenu" and "prisonnier" mean prisoner. However, a "détenu" is a guilty person, whereas a "prisonnier" is not necessarily a guilty person; for example the prisoners of war or the persons before a judgment.
In wars between nations, detainees are referenced in the Fourth Geneva Convention.
