stockade

“It was like you’d gone back into the stockade and you could shut the gate and get on with the work.”

Then several hundred men who had called for the work stoppage were rounded up and held without bail in a specially built “stockade.”

Rejecting a First Amendment challenge, the court upheld Private Wilson’s conviction and sentence to four months in the stockade, a bad-conduct discharge, and other penalties.

The Times, taking the opposite line, reported that Glenn and another student, Brendon Barr, were adjudged “incorrigible” and clocked in a stockade as a last resort.

Most of us do not want to see an ex-president pilloried or put in the stockade, literally or metaphorically.
