Origins of Mass Incarceration
"I have found that to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can brought to that only when he ceased to be a man."
