Many a wise person has pondered the plight of the prisoner. From Mark Twain to Oscar Wilde to Fyodor Dostoevsky, the issue of imprisonment has inspired many heartfelt remarks. The following quotes speak to our intellect as well as our emotions. In a society that rushes to warehouse human lives, we urge you to slow down, pause, and contemplate the unique reality of imprisonment. We hope you will find yourself thinking - perhaps even feeling - that we can do better.

It behooves us always to bear in mind, that while actions are always to be judged by the immutable standard of right and wrong, the judgments which we pass upon men must be qualified by considerations of age, country, station, and other accidental circumstances; and it will then be found that he who is most charitable in his judgment is generally the least unjust.
~Robert Southey   
 

Human judgment is finite, and it ought always to be charitable.
~William Winter   
 

I told him it was law logic--an artificial system of reasoning, exclusively used in courts of justice, but good for nothing anywhere else.
~attributed to John Quincy Adams   
 

The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.
~Aristotle   
 

It is better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer.
~Sir William Blackstone   
 

In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls.
~Lenny Bruce   
 

No written law has been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion.
~Carrie Chapman Catt   
 

I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis upon the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement.
~Calvin Coolidge   
 

There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
~Seneca   
 

If it's near dinner-time, the foreman takes out his watch when the jury has retired, and says: "Dear me, gentlemen, ten minutes to five, I declare! I dine at five, gentlemen." "So do I," says everybody else, except two men who ought to have dined at three and seem more than half disposed to stand out in consequence. The foreman smiles, and puts up his watch:--"Well, gentlemen, what do we say, plaintiff or defendant, gentlemen? I rather think, so far as I am concerned, gentlemen--I say I rather think--don't let that influence you--I rather think the plaintiff's the man." Upon this two or three other men are sure that think so too--as of course they do; and then they get on very unanimously and comfortably.
~Charles Dickens
