"They let me know as soon as I entered in these walls and closed the door that I had no rights.  I had no voice.  My name was an irrelevant part of me and I would now be known by whatever number that would be given to me."

Yolanda, imprisoned mother

"The idea of incarcerating your way out of a drug problem is like treating AIDS by digging graves."

Kathy Kane-Willis, Roosevelt University   Chicago

"Nancy never would have wanted her memorial to be the death of another human being.  There is no point in spilling more blood, it would not bring her back to us, it wouldn't make us feel any better, it wouldn't restore our loss.   It would only create another grieving family.  It would dig another grave. Hate is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."

Jeanne Bishop whose pregnant sister, Nancy and her husband were murdered in 1993.

One blue sky above us, just one ocean lapping all our shores. Just one earth so green and round, who could ask for more. And because I love you I'll give it one more try to show my rainbow race, it's too soon to die...."

“We can eliminate the birds, the most beautiful forms of birds, the butterflies and all of that, but we fail to realize spiritually even, that the outer world is necessary to activate the inner world.  If we destroy the grandeur of the forest, we lose a wonderful something in the inner world of the human.  When the world is trivialized, when the butterflies disappear, when we no longer hear the song of the birds, when children in the cities cannot see the stars, the possibility of being truly human disappears."
