The Secrets of Society Lay Within the Walls of a Prison

  If you would but gander inside your prison walls, you would unlock the secrets of your society. Or, many of them.
   Look at the man in the far cell, a drug addict. Could you but study him and find out why he turned to drugs?
  The prostitute over there, is she here because she found no other way to make a living?
  How many of these people came from broken homes? How many are second- or third-generation criminals, a parent having led them them astray? How many were scarred by the hatred of others?
  How many listened to violent music and how many listened to Beethoven? How many went to violent movies, and how many stayed home and watched Andy Griffith?
   How many were raised on love? How many were raised on religion? And, the ones who were raised on religion, why did they go astray?
  Yes, the secrets of society lay within the walls of a prison. Do your study, and you will learn how to empty it. Well, some.
