Learners may overuse "inmate" for people in hospitals or care homes. In modern English, professionals usually prefer words like "patient" or "resident" in these contexts, because "inmate" can sound cold or old-fashioned. Use "inmate" mainly when the text or speaker clearly describes an institutional setting where people are kept and cannot leave freely.
