reimprisoning

Locking up anew

Reimprisoning is the act of putting someone back in prison after they had been released.

This typically occurs when a parolee violates the terms of their release, when new charges arise, or when a conviction is reinstated on appeal.

The court ordered reimprisoning the defendant after he failed multiple drug tests.
