Wilbert Rideau Quotes

• La delincuencia es un problema social, y la educación es el único factor disuasorio real. Fíjense en todos los que estamos en la cárcel; todos éramos absentistas y desertores escolares, un fracaso del sistema educativo. Fíjense en su problema de absentismo escolar, y estarán viendo a sus futuros presos. Pongan el dinero ahí.

• Solitary confinement has been used extensively, it always has. I was in prison for 44 years; it was a normal part of life - the practice of it. They put you in solitary confinement for disciplinary reasons, they put you in solitary confinement to protect you from violence or whatever, and they also put you in solitary confinement just to show you who has got the power ... It's not something new; it's just something that nobody really cared about in the past.
