Although there are abundant attestations of punitive forced labour, disciplinary exercises (''uriximandon''), and {{wp|physical restraint}} by premodern Coscivian societies, ''confinement'' as an ordinary criminal penalty appears to have been quite unheard of. Philological evidence demonstrates that this posed a problem for Levantine missionaries and early Kiravian churchmen trying to translate the {{wp|New Testament}} into [[High Coscivian]], as the closest terms in common currency relating to imprisonment referred more properly to the widespread practice of {{wp|Niall_of_the_Nine_Hostages#Origin_of_his_epithet|hostage-taking}}. Indeed, most post-classical Kiravian communities would have lacked the facilities, resources, and enforcement apparatus to incarcerate convicts for extended periods.
