Addressing a really serious issue: The Three Phases of Incarceration

Good morning, everybody.

We begin the time of our lives incarcerated in a classroom, surrounded by fellow classmates and guarded by a superior figure, called "The Teacher".



Later in life some of us, or maybe the majority of us, go to college to study stuff and then we have to practice the things we have learned so we do interships and practicums. Then if we're lucky we are invited to work full-time sitting behind desks and screens alternating between Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, OneDrive, PhotoShop, CorelDraw, Canva, Premiere, AfterFX, Blender, you name it. This is another form of popular incarceration. Beforehand, at the classroom, what kept us moving was better grades and little stars in our report card. In the model of screens and desks our motivation is money, salary and stars in our report cards.




Now, the last phase is not everybody that will experience it. Just like the second phase, where some people are lucky enough to do practical jobs, this third level actually involves commiting crimes slash breaking the law in order to unlock it. It doesn't matter if your crime was "racketeering" (formation of gang), money laundering or interrupting someone else's life. You will definitely go to a special place called prison. For a lot of people going to prison means some sort of freedom or liberty. I know this sounds foolish maybe ironic but this is quite a reality. A lot of people either rich or poor don't have a tiger to pull its tail (idiom) so they sort of feel lost within their dimension. Therefore going to prison is relatively an excellent exit.


Linkedin is another form of incarceration. A lot of unfortunate souls conceive their linkedin accounts in order to upgrade their careers but I don't think this is actually true. Linkedin is the epitome of boredom. Linkedin was created to be some sort of business alternative to facebook, just like an evil twin. Personally linkedin is so boring I had to create two alternate accounts with different identities and images of people who don't exist (generated by Artificial Intelligence) in order to make myself comfortable in this heck hole people call career development.

I am currently at stage two of incarceration, but I love stage one. Studying and learning new things are my passion so I always think either prison cells, school classrooms and office desks are some sort of classroom slash laboratory where I can learn and do whatever I want (I have never been arrested, but I imagine what prisons are like). Although there are no teachers in prisons and offices I like to think guards and bosses are some sort of teacher-figures.

This is all folks. I hope I have ranted enough.
