reconfined
Put back inside
Reconfined means confined again after a period of freedom or release.
A prisoner reconfined has been returned to custody: He was reconfined after violating parole.
The word applies to any renewed restriction—physical, institutional, or metaphorical: The outbreak reconfined millions to their homes.
