A judge is someone who is in charge of a court of law, and listens to all sides of a court case, when someone has been accused of doing something bad. Judges also decide what punishment will be given to someone who is found guilty.
Outside of a law court, a judge is someone who decides who will win a competition, such as a sports game, a pet show, or an art competition.
A police officer (or policeman, policewoman or just police) is someone who makes sure that other people are obeying the law, and catches people who aren't.
Some police officers ride horses. Horses can go places that cars and motorbikes cannot go, because horses can step over holes or things on the ground and jump fences and vehicles can't.
A prison, also called a jail, gaol or penitentiary, is a place where people who have done bad things are locked up as a punishment. Some people can be put in jail for many, many years because they have done something very, very bad.
Pis forPunishment
A punishment is something that is given to you when you do something wrong, by breaking rules or the law. Punishments can range from being fined some money, to being smacked to being put to death.
Punishments are always unpleasant, and usually are tailored to fit the crime.
The opposite of punishment is reward.
