"En prison" is a rule in Roulette that applies to even-money bets, such as red/black or odd/even, when the ball lands on zero. Instead of losing the bet, players have the option to leave their bet "in prison" for the next spin. If the next spin results in a win for that bet, the player recovers their original stake without additional winnings. However, if the next spin is another zero or a loss, the player loses the bet. This rule provides a second chance for players, effectively reducing the house edge on even-money bets in games that feature it, like French Roulette.
