excerpts:
p. 11 "...a house of the living dead, with its own unique life and special inhabitants. This is the special little corner of the world I am setting out to describe."
p. 20 "We're broken people," they would say. "We've had the insides beaten out of us — that's why we cry out at night."
p. 27 "...in addition to loss of freedom and penal servitude, prison existence had one other element of torture almost more terrible than the rest: forced co-existence."
