About this Quote

This quote by Germaine Greer suggests that a maximum security jail is the only location where a person can feel genuinely protected. This is since the environment is extremely regulated and kept track of, and the inmates are unable to leave without permission. Nevertheless, the quote likewise indicates that even in this protected environment, there is still an imminent hazard of release. This suggests that the security of the jail is not absolute, which the prisoners are still susceptible to the outside world. The quote implies that even in a safe environment, there is still a danger of danger and uncertainty. This highlights the value of security and the requirement to be knowledgeable about prospective dangers. Eventually, the quote recommends that security is an impression, which no matter how secure a person may feel, there is constantly the potential for risk.
