“Those serving time in prison will no longer be referred to as ‘offenders’ or ‘convicts,’ according to a memo from the leader of the Department of Corrections. If theyre in a class behind bars, theyll be called ‘students.’ If theyre in the prison infirmary, theyll be called ‘patients.’ And, spokesman Jeremy Barclay said, if no other moniker applies, theyll be called ‘incarcerated persons.’”
So how do I tell the difference between the "students" at the University of Washington who are allowed to leave campus and the "students" in prison in Washington who are not?
"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we're not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller." - 1984, George Orwell
