or “ Prisoners can't be kept alone as punishment, but they can be separated for discipline reasons. ”
You could also call this:

“A legal action where someone promises to behave well or pay money if they don't”

This section of the law, called ‘Putting under bond’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it was removed from the law on 1 October 1985. This means that this particular rule no longer applies and is not part of the current law. If you want to know more about the current laws, you should look at the updated version of the Crimes Act 1961.
