Detention, imprisonment (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

internment

This clue is a double definition.

'detention' is the first definition.
(internment is a kind of detention)

'imprisonment' is the second definition.
(I know that internment is a type of imprisonment)

(Other definitions for internment that I've seen before include "Committal" , "Precautionary measure" , "Confinement of an enemy national" , "Detention" , "Locking up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
