Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incommunicado interrogation refers to a situation where a suspect is questioned without the opportunity to communicate with the outside world, including being denied access to a lawyer. Extended interrogation periods, such as 24-plus hours, often imply that the suspect has been held incommunicado, as they are not given breaks to contact legal representation or family.
