Five thoughts, ideas, insights, or quotes to power up your mind to think differently and creatively about life and who we are. Put all previous thinking away and open up a brand new world of the Supermind. YOUR SuperMind.
This week – Crime and Jail.
SuperMind Saturday explores new thinking and ideas on life’s many key subjects. Especially ones that many people are talking about. This week a subject that has come to the fore in the last decade. That of crime and going to jail. Every single week there seems to be some headline or other on a convicted criminal and their sentence. It’s a hot topic. That kind precisely I believe SuperMinds are made for. So….let’s get involved.
- It’s a fact that jails are jammed with inmates who have committed some crime or other. There has never been so many prisoners than before. But that is the effect. Somewhere else there has to be cause. Why are so many people turning to crime or acting in ways that lead to being in jail and how do we stop this?
- Historically being sent to jail acted as a deterrent to would be law breakers. Today it seems it’s an accepted risk for their chosen criminal activity. How can we make jail an outcome that potential offenders simply do not want again?
- Let’s got metaphoric. Being in jail means being in a prison you can’t get out of, something you are stuck in or with for many years. On that level, what is the biggest personal jail most people are held captive in across the world? How would you change that?
- Jails everywhere are full to bursting so is it time to re-think jails as such. Rather than large centralised buildings like now should there be alternative prisons built such as whole ready made built communities deeper in the country or islands that can house greater numbers or even underground lairs? What could be the ‘new jails’ of the future?
- It used to be said that crime doesn’t pay. But with modern organised gangs using worldwide supply routes that is a thing of the past it appears. As such low level crime like shoplifting, muggings, and break-ins are no longer investigated by the police. Is this the future of crime? How is crime developing and how can we beat it before it does.
That’s another SuperMind Saturday for your mind powers to work on. Thank you for being here for the SuperMind time. Keep asking yourself these through the week to open up more of your mind to evolve its potential. Consider more, generate ideas more, think on bigger possibilities more, activate your connection to your personal higher mind more and more. Employ your SuperMInd and Super Think!
See you next time for more super thinking.
