English term or phrase: General Population (in prison)
Buenas. ¿Alguien sabe la traducción específica de "general population" cuando hablamos de una prisión de EE.UU?

In prison organization, the general population refers to the group of inmates who are not given any specific treatment.

General Population in prison simply means or refers to all those incarcerated in that facility without any particular specifics. For example: not segregated in specific 'units' for medical, solitary confinement, protective issues or other isolating reasons from the majority of prisoners (general population)

"General population prison"

Desde ya, mil gracias.
