    I just think that the laws in the United States are really loose, and I can't stand it for the first 20 minutes. Killing two people who are not very heinous and has no remorse at the same time, this is simply a demon, can't wash the ground for it, no one has any sympathy, I think it should be hanged immediately. The result was only a life sentence? Why is the cost of crime so low? That mother still brazenly questioned the fairness of her sentence and wanted to appeal? Does she deserve to be...

    Imprisonment and Liberty

    Prisons are mysterious places to most people. Incarceration is a punishment for crime, and crime is not a part of life. Prisons are not only out of reach of most people's lives as "state machines", they are also geographically distant from the areas in which most people live their daily lives, as...

    say anything

    When it comes to prisons, most people think of awe and mystery. In an environment separated from society, people always have many illusions about the internal environment, so excellent film and television works such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Hole" were born, showing the life in prison...

Birdman of Alcatraz quotes

  • Robert Stroud: What the hell is eatin' you?

    Bull Ransom: Twelve years I've known you, Stroud. Twelve years, sun up and sun down, I've had to look at that frozen mug of yours. And in all that time, never so much as a how-de-do out of you. I try to treat you decent 'cause you got no bed of roses in there. So I put my head on the block and I dummy up about the birds. Did you say, "Thanks, my boy?" Just once you say, "Thanks? Or maybe I just didn't hear you. You're a soft speaker. You... you want a pop bottle? You want a pop bottle? Do I hear maybe, maybe the word "please" someplace? Or could I be goin' deef? "Hand over the... hand over the box," says you. "Hand over the box," like you was the Czar of Russia or somebody. Well, you get this, Bucko. I may be just a uniform to you, but you got no patent on feelings. I'm a man, the same as you, and I wanna be treated like one. So you'd better come up with a few manners with me, or don't even expect the time of day from yours truly!

  • Robert Stroud: You best go find out who you are. Come on. Now what's wrong with you, you old buzzard? Come on. Don't be afraid. Out there you can kick up the dust. You can dance to fiddle music. Watch the alfalfa bloom. If you like, you can... see gold teeth. Taste sweet whisky and red-eyed gravy. The air breathes easy, nights move faster, and you tell time by the clock. Now you don't wanna be a jailbird all your life, do ya? You're a highballin' sparrow. So you fly high, old cock. Go out there and bite the stars - for me. Find yourself a fat mama and make a family. You hear? Beat it.
