“Prison is a society cultivating psychological repression. Deceptive, the subservient appearance of its camouflage a rage boiling just beneath the surface.”

“It is a society in which the subservient appearance observed among us is dangerously deceptive. The occasional warning sign the dam is about to burst is most often ignored by our keepers.”

“Things have changed: now all one must do to keep society's members from caring its prisoners are abused is to question the content of their character.”

“It's easier to throw away a child who reacts to his abuse than attempt to heal his pain.”

“Had I forgotten how to cry? Was that possible? In order to survive, I had long since buried my emotions.”

“We fought to hide our fear, to maintain our positions as predators rather than victims. In reality, we were all victims.”

“I saw a bunch of kids who needed love and acceptance and to be allowed to live as normal children, instead of having to fight to conceal their misery, fear, and weakness.”
