“The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“As I believe I have said, everyone in prison is an innocent man. Oh, they read the scripture the way those holy rollers on TV read the Book of Revelations. They were the victims of judges with hearts of stone and balls to match, or incompetent lawyers, or police frame-ups, or bad luck. They read the scripture, but you can see a different scripture in their faces. Most cons are a low sort, no good to themselves or anyone else, and their worst luck was that their mothers carried them to term.”
― Stephen King, Different Seasons

“You don't have to be very bright to carry a handbarrow. So the squad leader gave such work to people who'd been in positions of authority.”
― Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich

“They are not free at all. They are essentially our prisoners.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“The days rolled by in the camp—they were over before you could say "knife." But the years, they never rolled by; they never moved by a second.”
― Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich

“For each man kills the thing he loves yet each man does not die
he does not die a death of shame on a day of dark disgrace
nor have a noose about his neck, nor a cloth upon his face
nor drop feet foremost through the floor into an empty space
He does not sit with silent men who watch him night and day
Who watch him when he tries to weep and when he tries to pray
Who watch him lest himself should rob the prison of its prey”
― Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

“Political prisoners describe:
- extreme physical and emotional torture
- distortion of language, truth, meaning and reality
- sham killings
- begin repeatedly taken to the point of death or threatened with death
- being forced to witness abusive acts on others
- being forced to make impossible "choices"
- boundaries smashed i.e. by the use of forced nakedness, shame, embarrassment
- hoaxes, 'set ups', testing and tricks
- being forced to hurt others

Ritual abuse survivors often describe much the same things.”
― Laurie Matthew, Who Dares Wins

“A couple of ounces ruled your life.”
― Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich

“rip the prisons

― Norman Mailer, Deaths For The Ladies

“To outsmart you they thought up work squads—but not squads like the ones outside the camps, where everyone is paid his separate wage. Everything was so arranged in the camp that the prisoners egged one another on. It was like this: either you all got a bit extra or you all croaked. You're loafing you bastard—do you think I'm willing to go hungry just because of you? Put your guts into it, slob.”
― Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich

“From warm meals, to daily exercise, to healthcare; one can't help but wonder how our society would be different if tended to the elderly as we do to our imprisoned.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

“Living in the past, can only hold those who live there, as its prisoners.”
― Ellen J. Barrier

“What good are prisoners? I much prefer devoted slaves.”
― Kate Perry, The Holiday

“Suspense, murder, revenge, scandal; a delicious cocktail party.”
― Kat Kaelin, LONE WALK FROM PANTHER CREEK: BASED ON A TRUE STORY - Dirty Little Secrets - Reader Discretion Advised

“It was William Penn who said, “Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.�� Brent knew that there was nothing right about this place and the way the prisoners were treated, and he was determined to do whatever he could to change that.”
― Kenneth G. Eade, A Patriot's Act

“...visą pataisos įstaigų sistemą reikėtų tiesiai taip ir vadinti - nusikaltėlių ugdymo bazėmis. Pradinis lygis - nepilnamečių kolonijos, kur paauglys arba suluošinamas psichiškai visam gyvenimui, arba užsigrūdina, surambėja ir išeina puikiausią nusikalstamumo mokyklą prieš ateityje laukiančius Lukiškių ir visus kitus universitetus. Kito pasirinkimo čia beveik nėra. Kaip beveik nėra kito pasirinkimo ir nuteistajam, išėjusiam iš kalėjimo.”
― Saulius Stoma, Užrašai iš Pasmerktųjų Namų

“Any place you don’t want to stay becomes your prison! That’s why there are many prisoners all around the world who look like free men!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
