A prisoner is like a bird in a cage. Just like how the bird can’t fly freely in the sky, a prisoner can’t go wherever they want. They have to stay inside a special place called a prison. This is because they did something that the rules say is wrong, like taking something that isn’t theirs or hurting someone.
Imagine a time-out corner in a classroom. When someone breaks the rules, they might have to sit in the time-out corner for a while to think about what they did. A prisoner is in a big time-out, where they stay until they learn not to break the rules again.
Think of a traffic light. A red light means stop, and a green light means go. If someone doesn’t follow the traffic light and drives when it’s red, they might get in trouble. A prisoner is someone who didn’t follow the rules, just like not stopping at the red light.
A prisoner has to follow special rules in the prison. They eat, sleep, and sometimes even learn new things there, just like how you have a schedule at school.
