Isaac Parker

“‘Do equal and exact justice’ is my motto, and I have often said to the grand jury, ‘Permit no innocent man to be punished, but let no guilty man escape'”. –Isaac Parker

Walter Lippmann

“A State is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and dis-establish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate habits, and to censor opinions. The modern State claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and democrats”. –Walter Lippmann

Will Rogers

“We don’t give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give them a lot of publicity”. –Will Rogers

Napoleon Bonaparte

“The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, punish more severely”. –Napoleon Bonaparte
