Hate put me in prison. Love's gonna bust me out.
Denzel Washington

I think it's very important. I've gone into prisons to meditate with inmates. It's something I plan to do with Tim Robbins soon.
Russell Simmons

In prison I had the opportunity to debate and discuss people that had subscribed to all forms of Islamism.
Maajid Nawaz

The United States has more women and girls in prison than any other industrialized nation on earth.
Patricia Arquette
Image
I was always much impressed, in reading prison memoirs of revolutionists, such as Lenin and Trotsky ... by the amount of reading they did, the languages they studied, the range of their plans for a better social order. (Or rather, for a new social order.) In the Acts of the Apostles there are constant references to the Way and the New Man.
Dorothy Day

It's time to end the era of mass incarceration. We need a true national debate about how to reduce our prison population.
Hillary Clinton
Image
Experts and the educated elite have replaced what worked with what sounded good. Society was far more civilized before they took over our schools, prisons, welfare programs, police departments and courts. It's high time we ran these people out of our lives and went back to common sense.
Walter E. Williams
Image
I think the reality of prison is you don't get anything unless you want it in there. Whatever happens to you in prison, this is what you asked for. Nothing happens to you if you don't give that vibe.
Mike Tyson

Are you ready to step out of the prison of memory and conditioned responses into the experience of freedom? If so, then observe your addictive behaviors without judgment.
Deepak Chopra

The average prison term for a convicted murderer in America is 6.5 years. The average tenure for a member of Congress is 13 years. We've got it backwards. We are giving early release to the wrong criminal class.
Pat Robertson

Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.
Aristotle

If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
Hunter S. Thompson
Image
There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.
Max von Sydow
Image
I've worked in the prison system, on death row and maximum security. I did that work for six years. I've worked with some of the most difficult people in our society. Buddhism was accessible and helpful for these individuals.
Joan Halifax

The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.
Andre Malraux
Image
Virtually everything that the government does costs more than when the same thing is done in private industry - whether it is building housing, running prisons, collecting garbage, or innumerable other things. Why in the world would we imagine that health care would be the exception?
Thomas Sowell
Image
Keeping my family out of prison best I can. That is success to me. I created that without selling records.
Yo Gotti
Image
Prisons don't rehabilitate, they don't punish, they don't protect, so what the hell do they do?
Jerry Brown

A prison becomes a home when you have the key.
George Sterling

And Communist Russia was so bad because they followed their people, they snooped on them, they arrested them, they put them in secret prisons, they disappeared them.
Steve Wozniak
Image
The fact that's why the prisons and stock in private prisons rose the very day after the election results [for Donald Trump] were announced. The fact that progress that was made for people of color, for women, for LGBTQ people, are all at risk.
Ava DuVernay
Image
I used to teach writing in a federal prison, and for my students' benefit, I would liken the narrative use of this highly personal point of view to a boxer's getting in close to his opponent.
Norman Lock

All during that prison time I really lived by prayer. Be in prayer always, we're told, and back then I was.
Diet Eman
