• You go to London, you see a TV set in every cell and the sign up that all the officers must treat prisoners with dignity. What about your dedicated soldiers that have helped fight in Afghanistan and Iraq? They're living in tents and our soldiers are living in tents. So it's OK for soldiers to live in tents, in hot tents, but it's wrong for inmates?

• We are all potentially such sick men. The sanest and best of us are of one clay with lunatics and prison-inmates. And whenever we feel this, such a sense of the vanity of our voluntary career comes over us, that all our morality appears but as a plaster hiding a sore it can never cure, and all our well-doing as the hollowest substitute for that well-being that our lives ought to be grounded in, but alas! are not.

• Durante el primer día, curiosos por tener forasteros entre ellos, un largo reguero de reclusos se acercó a hablar conmigo. Sorprendentemente, según lo que me contaron, casi todos los reclusos de la prisión no lo habían hecho. Varios miles de personas habían sido encerradas injustamente y, por una increíble coincidencia, todas en la misma prisión. Por otro lado, sabían muchísimo sobre cómo acuchillar a alguien.

A word spoken with love and concern will give them more comfort than any amount of money. That will lead to the expansion of our hearts as well.

• Durante ocho años estuve internado en un manicomio estatal. Durante esos años pasé por un terror tan insoportable que me convertí en una criatura salvaje y asustada que sólo quería sobrevivir. Y sobreviví. Fui violada por celadores, roída por ratas y envenenada con comida contaminada. Estuve encadenada en celdas acolchadas, atada a camisas de fuerza y medio ahogada en baños de hielo. Y sobreviví. El propio manicomio era una trampa de acero, y no salí vivo y victorioso de sus fauces. Salí mutilado, gimoteando y terriblemente solo. Pero sobreviví.
