Talk:Karzer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I translated most of the German article. This was, however, not an exclusively German institution - I hope to add something on Swedish student prisons later - so it would be useful to find an English word that has been in actual use with this meaning "student prison". The Oxford-Duden dictionary has "Karzer der; ~s, ~ (hist.) (Raum) detention room (in university, school); (Strafe) detention (often lasting several days)", but that is just explanatory. Unless a better word is found, one could consider moving the article to "student prison". u p p l a n d 15:30, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I was wondering, what were these students locked up for? there is no mention of it in the article.
