Imprisonment

 To be in prison is to label yourself a danger to the society and you must be kept there to keep society safe from your behavior.  All manner of misdemeanors are deemed to be punishable by imprisonment from driving offenses to the penalties of more serious charges. Judges have it in their power to exercise to the guilty a form of imprisonment according to the severity of their misdemeanors.  No longer are people held for the grievous kinds of crime prior to execution, as the death sentence no longer applies in this country.

 Prisons are built all around the United Kingdom with various degrees of security and they are even open prisons, where inmates pose little threat to the local people, but are kept there for their own good.  Conditions of security vary from prison to prison and according to the security required for the crime committed.  The main thing is that by being sent to prison, they are deprived of their liberty and they have to get used to being without and deprived of things that to them are now luxuries, but to us are normal and a part of everyday life.

 Lock down has features of depriving citizens of the normal rights of everyday movements, but here it was designed to control the spread of viruses, such as Covid-19, by controlling the happenings of people coming into contact with each other and stopping the spread of the virus through coughs and sneezes.  The wearing of masks, social distancing and frequent washing of hands helped to stops the spread.  All travel between countries brought the holiday and airline industries to a complete halt and severe fines were in place to be given out to those who broke the rules.  Only essential occupations were cleared fit to travel and all hospitality outlets and non-essential shops were closed.

 People felt imprisoned in their own houses and the hospitals and medical centers were swamped with treating infected souls before they died in huge numbers. All civil groups were limited, so that church services, weddings and funerals were kept to a minimum.  Many moved to the online screening of events and started purchasing items from the Internet.  The whole fabric of society was turned on its head.  It gave everybody a new look at life, as schools and universities were closed, so that online teaching was all that was available.  God still managed to help all those who truly asked and Spiritual Law continued to apply.
