Mind and Spiritual well-being; 8



The British Government has implemented a policy of early release for certain individuals from prison, a decision that raises concerns about personal safety and the safety of loved ones. This measure has the potential to evoke feelings of injustice and reopen emotional wounds for those who have been victims of criminal acts. The measures could also increase tensions and lead to further chaotic behaviours exhibited by people such as those who engaged in 'riot'.


The importance of feeling safe and secure is paramount in a society that upholds principles of justice and the rule of law. The ability to move freely without fear of harm is essential for a society built on moral and ethical standards. Despite these challenges, individuals who are vigilant and self-assured will take proactive steps to mitigate risks.


The impact of releasing serious criminals on the mental and spiritual well-being of individuals is significant. Victims and their families may experience a renewed sense of injustice and trauma, which can lead to long-term psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The situation can be particularly grave if the released offender continues to pose a threat to the victim's safety and well-being.


Moreover, the mental health of prisoners may deteriorate upon early release, especially for those with pre-existing mental health conditions who struggle to adjust to life outside prison without adequate support and treatment. The lack of mental health care, particularly in segregation units during incarceration, can worsen conditions, resulting in non-compliance with medication and further decline in mental health.


The early release of serious offenders can create community anxiety and fear, leading to social isolation and a decrease in trust in authorities. This can have adverse effects on the mental well-being of community members, particularly those who have been directly impacted by crime, such as neighbours or witnesses.


Furthermore, the release of criminals convicted of serious crimes can challenge individuals' moral and ethical beliefs, potentially causing spiritual distress and a crisis of faith. Reconciling personal beliefs with perceived injustice can be especially difficult for victims and their families.


In summary, the early release of serious criminals can have complex and far-reaching effects on mental and spiritual well-being, impacting not only the released offenders but also victims, communities, and individuals affected by crime.


The mind and spiritual aspect is vitally important and there are a number of actions to conduct that mitigate anxiety, fear, anger and rage amongst a plethora of emotions.
