Remember when you were little and you'd get time-outs? I don't, I lost all memory when I was 13 and had to be retaught everything from the alphabet up. Am I kidding? I'll leave you to determine that. According to a definition I read, the purpose of a time-out is to remove a kid from society temporarily, and have him be placed in a corner, where he will think about what he has done wrong and ways to better himself. Or herself, of course, but we all know girls never do anything wrong... Does time-out remind you of anything? Perhaps a child will do time-out when he is bad. Well, when you get older, the out is dropped. Then you don't do time-out, you just do time. Like a time-out, you are removed from society, except instead for five minutes, it could be five years, or in extreme cases, 25 to Life. You also have to think about what you've done and how to better yourself, except for most prisoners, it is how to break out or how to kill that guard without getting caught. So you can see the similarities, and the differences, yes?
