For all of Lyle's published work, see below:
“Prison is designed to break
one’s spirit and destroy one’s resolve. To do this, authorities attempt to exploit every weakness, demolish every initiative, negate all signs of individuality—all with the idea of stamping out that spark that makes each of us human and each of us who we are.”
-Nelson Mandela
“Imprisonment is increasingly used as a strategy of deflection of the underlying social problems--racism, poverty, unemployment, lack of education, and so on.”
-Angela Davis
Article: College on death row: “Y’all aren’t here to be rehabilitated.”
