A quick definition of safe house:

Term: SAFE HOUSE

Definition: A safe house is a place where people can live safely and anonymously under protection. Safe houses can be used for many different reasons, both legal and illegal. Some safe houses are used to protect people who have been threatened or are in danger, such as abused spouses or runaway children. Others are used by law enforcement agencies for undercover operations or to protect witnesses. Unfortunately, some people also use safe houses to hide criminal activity, like making drugs.

A more thorough explanation:

A safe house is a place where people can live under protection, usually in secrecy. It can be used for legal or illegal purposes.

  • Shelters for abused spouses and runaway children are safe houses.
  • Law enforcement agencies use safe houses for undercover operations and to protect witnesses who have been threatened.
  • Criminals may use safe houses to hide from the police or to conduct illegal activities such as drug manufacturing.

These examples illustrate how safe houses can be used for different purposes. They can provide a safe haven for those in need of protection, but they can also be used for criminal activities. It is important to distinguish between legal and illegal uses of safe houses.

@MetroHero: i hate sitting in classrooms so NUSL's co-op is perf, plus I wanna do public defense and def not biglaw, and I live in PVD, I'll be commuting in, so like BC would be way too irritating (plus i don't trust the jesuits lmao) and I don't think I'd get into BC/BU anyway so why spend the effort
