The world is a prison in which solitary confinement is preferable.

The world is a prison in which solitary confinement is preferable.

This planet is a penal colony and nobody is allowed to leave.

What prison is and unfreedom is, is the extraction of time.

You humans are always locking each other away. Cells. Dungeons. Some of your earliest jails were sewers, where men sloshed in their own waste. No other creature has this arrogance — to confine its own. Could you imagine a bird imprisoning another bird? A horse jailing a horse? As a free form of expression, I will never understand it. I can only say that some of my saddest sounds have been heard in such places. A song inside a cage is never a song. It is a plea.

A crowded society is a restrictive society; an overcrowded society becomes an authoritarian, repressive and murderous society.

The securest place is a prison cell, but there is no liberty

The City was the acme of efficiency, but it made demands of its inhabitants. It asked them to live in a tight routine and order their lives under a strict and scientific control.

Security without liberty is called prison.

A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space.

The formula for prison is a lack of space counterbalanced by a surplus of time. This is what really bothers you, that you can't win. Prison is lack of alternatives, and the telescopic predictability of the future is what drives you crazy.

No human activity is private. A.I. supercomputers chronicle and categorize every action. A Prison Planet dominated by a ruthless gang of control freaks - whose power can never be challenged. This is the vision of the global elite: their goal.

Prisons are compact duplicates of the Black community, in that many of the same negative and destructive elements that are allowed to exist in our community and cause crime, especially drugs, are in poison in a more blatant and concentrated form To call such places "correctional" or "rehabilitative" institutions is a gross misnomer. Death camps are more like it. These prisons do not exist to punish everyone equally, but to protect the existing Capitalist system from you and I, the poor and working class.

Cultural confinement takes place when a curator imposes his own limits on an art exhibition , rather than asking an artist to set his limits. Artists are expected to fit into fraudulent categories. Some artists imagine they've got a hold on this apparatus, which in fact has got a hold of them. As a result, they end up supporting a cultural prison that is out of their control.
