The Perpetual Prisoner Machine "This is one of the most important books about the state of this nation that has come along in years. The fact that we have become the new Soviet Union, the new South Africa, when it comes to incarcerating our own citizens is perhaps our most shameful accomplishment of the past decade. The brilliance of Joel Dyer's book is that he just doesn't state sad and compelling fact, he gives us the why behind it — how politicians, lawyers, and corporations have profited by frightening the public into believing that we must lock up as many people as possible." — Michael Moore, filmmaker: Roger & Me and The Big One |

Guard at the Slave Labor Camp: What was your sentence?
New Prisoner: 25 years of Slave Labor
Guard: What was your crime?
New Prisoner: Nothing! I am innocent!
Guard: Do not lie to me! If you were innocent, your sentence would be only 10 years of Slave Labor.
One day I can imagine this exchange:
American Judge: How do you plead?
Defendant: Not guilty
American Judge: If you are not guilty, why didn't you accept pre-trial intervention?
