There is a paradox at the core of penology, and from it derives the thousand ills and afflictions of the prison system. It is that not only the worst of the young are sent to prison, but the best-that is, the proudest, the bravest, the most daring, the most enterprising and the most undefeated of the poor. There starts the horror. -Norman Mailer's introduction to In the Belly of the Beast by Jack Henry Abbott No one knows what it's like to be the bad man.
