| A '''convict''', also called a '''prisoner''', is an individual imprisoned and deprived of personal freedoms after being found guilty of a crime by some form of authority. Individuals can be imprisoned for various reasons ranging from minor violations like theft to major crimes such as murder, [[piracy]], [[terrorism]], and [[treason]]. Convicts are incarcerated by their own peers unlike [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]], who are combatants imprisoned by enemies forces following an armed conflict.

| The Covenant Empire was known to incarcerate convicted client species in ''[[High Charity]]'' and in other detention facilities, where they were often tortured and disposed of. In some cases, Sangheili or Jiralhanae guards disposed of criminals by feeding them to [[Kig-Yar]] convicts, who would eat their victims alive.<ref>'''Halo 2''', ''campaign level'', ''[[The Arbiter]]''</ref>

| Covenant cells and prisons are seemingly segregated by race. One such penitentiary, called [[Weeping Shadows of Sorrow]], detained only [[Sangheili]] convicts. It was at this very facility where [[Ripa 'Moramee]] was incarcerated after being found guilty of staging a coup against his clan's [[Kaidon]]. 'Moramee's sentence was annulled when he was appointed [[Arbiter]] by the [[Prophet of Regret]].<ref>'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref>

| Prior to the [[Great Schism]] in [[2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] ordered that all imprisoned and criminal [[Jiralhanae]] were to be released, rehabilitated, and pardoned.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars Timeline Events]]'''</ref>

| Although not seemingly convicted of any crimes, the [[Unmutuals]], asocial Yanmee'e who suffered from personality disorders, were sentenced to work to death in penal colonies operated by [[Mgalekgolo]] and Kig-Yar guards.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "[[Blunt Instruments]]"</ref>

|
| In addition, disgraced warriors found by the [[High Council]] to be guilty of [[List of known Covenant heretics|heresy]] would be publicly tortured and branded with the [[Mark of Shame]], only to be sentenced to death soon after. This fate awaited Supreme Commander [[Thel 'Vadamee]] following his defeat at [[Installation 04]]. The terms of his execution were left in the hands of the [[Hierarchs]], who overruled the council and allowed 'Vadamee to redeem himself by becoming the next Arbiter.

| As an act of penance, [[Forerunners]] who had committed crimes could volunteer to be reformed and serve the [[Juridical]] [[rate]] as evidence-gathering agents. Those who did had their biological bodies reduced to a shriveled form and encased in a mechanical carapace. They were stripped of their individuality and personhood, becoming a collective entity committed to investigating criminal actions by citizens of the [[Ecumene]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Silentium]]''', ''page 24''</ref> [[Skycrypt]]s, large suspended detention centers, were utilized by Forerunner to contain or isolate dangerous beings.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', multiplayer map ''Solitary''</ref>
