More quotes by Jerry Brown
Prisons don't rehabilitate, they don't punish, they don't protect, so what the hell do they do?
Jerry Brown
I see the day in our own lifetime that reverence for the natural systems, the oceans, the rainforests, the soil, the grasslands, and all other living things will be so strong that no narrow ideology based upon politics or economics will overcome it.
Jerry Brown
The drug war isn't what purports to be. If you look at the whole operation and the tie-in between the American intelligence agencies, these so-called assets, the spies on the payroll of the CIA, and drug dealers. Don't let members of Congress and the media get away with this complacency and distortion!
Jerry Brown
The shuttle tomorrow is truly like laying the last spike on the transcontinental railroad, only much more so. And whether or not we're going to see in in the next 10 or 20 years, there are people alive today who will see manufacturing in space from moon materials or from asteroids.

Jerry Brown
The minimum wage has not kept pace with rising costs. This legislation is overdue and will help families that are struggling in this harsh economy.
Jerry Brown
Look at the whole criminal correction game, which is a big piece of our economy. It's just an invention. Crime is being invented to put people to work.
Jerry Brown
Sometimes the highest form of action is inaction.
Jerry Brown
America and the world is not yet on the proper trajectory.
Jerry Brown
I would like to maximize the level of human choice in the medical field...The choice of a treatment in many ways is like the exercise of religion.
Jerry Brown
The U.S. incarceration binge is not tied to crime. It's a strategy to control the surplus population in a capitalist system that is breaking down.
Jerry Brown
I'd shrink government in a minute, if I could shrink GM, Bank of America, and all these immoral corporations that operate by an undemocratic code, with no soul and no conscience.
Jerry Brown
Without the truth of the people, politics degenerates into mere spectacle and democracy declines, leaving demagoguery and cynicism to fill the void.
Jerry Brown
The big lock-up is about drugs. Here's the real scam. The drug war is one of the games to get more convictions and prisoners.
Jerry Brown
Were I to stop oil production, we`d have to import it from Iraq and from Caracas, Venezuela or from North Dakota where the environmental standards are much lower, on trains that have already proven themselves unsafe, or by more ships that are causing significant pollution in the world. It`s just really dumb.
Jerry Brown
