KEEPING BEHIND BARS Meaning and
Definition
-
Keeping behind bars refers to the act of imprisoning or confining someone within a secure facility, such as a prison or jail, as a punishment for committing a crime or as a means of preventing them from causing harm to society. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the state of being confined or restricted in any situation, whether physical or metaphorical.
In the literal sense, keeping behind bars involves the physical restraint and isolation of an individual within a confined space. This enforcement is typically imposed by a legal authority, such as a judge, as part of a judicial process after a person has been found guilty of a crime. The primary objectives of keeping someone behind bars are the protection of society from potential danger and the imposition of a punitive consequence for unlawful actions.
Metaphorically, being kept behind bars can also refer to any circumstance in which an individual or a group is subjected to strict control, limitations, or confinement. This can include limitations on personal freedom, expression, or movement, either voluntarily or involuntarily. It may be used to describe the suppression of ideas, the restraint of opportunities, or the oppression of a certain segment of society. This metaphorical use of "keeping behind bars" conveys a sense of restriction, constraint, or confinement that impedes the full exercise of one's rights or potential.
