Notas de uso
- Use carcere in neutral or formal contexts; prigione is often more general and common in everyday speech.
- For serving time, Italian usually says essere in carcere or finire in carcere, not a direct calque like stare in prigione in all contexts.
- Common article contractions are del carcere, in carcere, dal carcere; in carcere often appears without an article.
