Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard.

I won't talk about what it was like in prison, except to say I'm glad I'm out and that I plan never to go back and to pay my taxes every day.
Richard Pryor, American Actor (1940-2005)
I mean, we've had all these awful pictures from the prison in Iraq and these sort of memos floating around about justifying torture, all this kind of stuff. And it makes you want to take a shower, you know?
Ron Reagan, American Journalist (1958-  )
That kind of thing happens to black people every day in this country, and they don't receive that kind of sentence he did, which was to go to prison on the weekends; I think he lectured there-an outside lecturer.
Ishmael Reed, American Poet (1938-  )
We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.
Janet Reno, American Public Servant (1938-  )
But in this Second Work if thou extract our Air and our Fire with the phlegm water, they will the more naturally and easily be drawn out of their infernal prison, and with less losse of their Spirits, than by the former way before described.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
Valentino Rossi, Italian Athlete (1979-  )
If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in.
Tim Roth, British Actor (1961-  )
One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.
Bertrand Russell, British Philosopher (1872-1970)
Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.
Samuel Rutherford, Scottish Theologian
The Federal prison population has increased more than 7-fold over the past 20 years.
Bobby Scott, American Politician (1947-  )
Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly.
Bobby Scott, American Politician (1947-  )
We can't let somebody rise to the top who will pardon these war criminals. Because they need to go to prison for what they've done in this world. We can't have a pardon. They need to pay for what they've done.
Cindy Sheehan, American Activist (1957-  )
It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison.
Cindy Sheehan, American Activist (1957-  )
I visited my father for the full ten years that he was in prison, so we already had a deep and loving relationship, and remembered our mother at those times.
Sam Sheppard, American Scientist (1923-1970)
Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with the other men. There is a three year waiting list.

John Spratt, American Politician (1942-  )
A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space.
Gloria Steinem, American Activist (1934-  )
Playing the role of Christ was like being in a prison. It was the hardest part I've ever had to play in my life. I couldn't smoke or drink in public. I couldn't.
Max von Sydow, Swedish Actor (1929-  )
