I can't seem to find the name! I did a search but everything that came up was completely useless! Could someone please find it for me?

The fear of being locked up in an enclosed place is cleithrophobia or cleisiophobia.

Hi, J. Alfred---carcer is the latin for confined, thus our word, incarceration. How about carceraphobia? Amusing, anyway :)))
