Savion asked about the word "incarceration". I discussed with him the concept of freedom and it being taken away when incarcerated. I informed him about the difference of being inside a prison cell and being under house arrest. Citing Aung San Suu Kyi's* house arrest situation in Myanmar, I explained that even if she is not inside a prison cell, she is not free to leave her house without permission.
Savion remarked, "House arrest is not like prison. It's like a rest house, right?"
I smiled and did not get what he meant until he reminded me of our country's former President who was incarcerated not in a jail cell but in his personal rest house outside the city.
