A philosophical conundrum / mental exercise


Recommended Posts

Some prisons in the UK have started releasing inmates in order to prevent the Coronavirus from decimating the prison population. 

Aside from the fact that they're being removed from perhaps the most securest form of social isolation (?), I'm curious what some of you would do if you were responsible for such policies, particularly if these released prisoners went on to commit crimes.

How do you balance the dignity of human life (including those of hardened criminals) with the severe threat they would pose to innocents? What if one of the prisoners went on to murder somebody? How would you justify it?

i just find it odd how they think the virus can spread in prisons!  maybe the prison guards can spread it to the prisoners?

in the india news they were saying they might release some of the prisoners.

i dnt think they should be released but contact between officers/guards should be limited 

my cousin was in prison and his 5yr term got cut down to around 4yrs because he behaved    b4 they come out for a few months they let them go out of prison for a few hours   he used to visit us.

they give them duties  in prison and pay them   cleaning, tidying, cooking etc   my cousin was the cook   

im sure the people they release would have those tags around their ankles to navigate where they are going etc  

if they are releasing them then psychos should be kept in the prisons like murderers, rapists and pedos while thugs, thieves, dealers etc  should be the ones released

Furthermore... wouldn't they just as likely, or more likely, get and spread corona outside prison?

Yh they probably will   that's why it doesnt make sense    in america they've already started releasing them.  Gd for them! Lol    but they more likely to catch it    or is that the aim?    Prisons world over are struggling with the number of inmates.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
