“I doubt that it's rehabilitative to compel inmates to fight with one another and then shoot them and kill them.”
Catherine Campbell
“It takes only 3 to 5 minutes to kill yourself, ... We have (almost) 700 inmates. To check every one of them 24 hours a day, no more than 3 to 5 minutes apart? I'd need triple the staff to guarantee never a suicide. But our operational goal is to prevent as many suicides as we can . . . if somebody attempts it, we do everything we can to eliminate the problem and then treat the inmate.”
James Tracy
“Ironically there are only two inmates and one is dead so the only one left is Mr. Edwards who had been locked out of his cell. A homemade shank was found in a mop bucket and it matched a piece of sharpened, cut off metal from the bookcase bracket in Mr. Edwards' cell.”
Norm Cooling
“Are inmates part of a fix? Absolutely. But to send an inmate out as a quasi-United Nations representative? Who's controlling that? Who's running the damn place when you're using peacekeepers?”
Chuck Alexander
“[We] were so surprised?the answer is probably about two days, the longest around two months. That's impossible if they don't have anyone there to kill, because the death penalty [inmates] in China [are] not that many. It's impossible for the patient to get that in just two days.”
Kevin Yang
“Ninety percent of the evidence is going to be the testimony of these 42 inmate witnesses, and every single one will be getting something.”
Dean Steward
“Inmates think one of two things when they come here. They either think of it as a catastrophe or as a challenge. Those who think of it as a challenge do well here.”
