Prison for the crime of puberty -- that was how secondary school had seemed.
David Brin

Prison, with its daily rhythm, with the transfer and the defense, does not leave any time prison dissolves time: This is the principal form of punishment in a capitalist society.
Antonio Negri

Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages.

Prison is an important part of life. We can't have violent people running around in the streets. (3 out of 4 federal prisoners are serving time for non-violent crimes.) Most competent and qualified kindergarden teachers can tell you who the 5 kids are in his or her class likely to wind up in prison 15 - 20 years from now.

Prison Break has been a really great experience because of the writers. I think that in television, you can have great directors, really good actors, but if it's not on the page... I think a series lives and dies in writing.

William Powell

Prison's a walk in the park compared with being sectioned, mate, it really is.

Prison officials have been more concerned about sparing the sensitivities of executioners and witnesses than protecting the condemned prisoner from pain. They are more concerned with appearances than with the reality.

Jerry Brown
Image
Prison is where you promise yourself the right to live.
Jack Kerouac

Prison makes an interesting context for so many different characters to come together. You get to see what lines get drawn between people.
Yael Stone
Image
Prison is a second-by-second assault on the soul, a day-to-day degradation of the self, an oppressive steel and brick umbrella that transforms seconds into hours and hours into days.
Mumia Abu-Jamal

Prison guard unions have become the powerful political forces in some states, particularly California.
Michelle Alexander

Prisons where people can't even work is the worst punishment you can think of. And I don't think we should put all convicts in such facilities where people are deprived of their freedom.
Vladimir Putin

Prison Notebooks gives me a basic understanding of how power can influence people through cultural products and intellectual groups, so they will voluntarily support the hegemony.
