At least 80 percent of American prisoners are grossly over-sentenced. The Supreme Court knows this, but shows scant concern for this human side of criminal justice.

The percentage of Americans in the prison system, has doubled since 1985.

Everyone is an abused child, if you think about what governments do.

Prisons are like the concentration camps of our time. So many go in and never come out, and primarily they're black and Latino.

Most of today's black convicts have come to understand that they are the most abused victims of an unrighteous order.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Many of those people deserve to be in prison; however, some of them do not.

Most go to prison not on account of their irreducible uniqueness as people but because they are part of a marginalized sector of the population who never had a chance, who were slated for it early on.

All emphasis in American prisons is on punishment, retribution, and disparagement, and almost none is on rehabilitation.

Sometimes it seems as though all parents are certain that their children are victims of abuse by other children.

There are over 500,000 registered sex offenders across the country, and statistics have shown that the recidivism rate for those criminals is high.
