Crime Quote by Lewis E. Lawes
““Prison administration is concerned with this phase of procedure because of the generally accepted notion--in and out of prisons--that money can get away with anything. A most unwholesome influence when your objective is to kindle a proper respect for the law and conformity among men doing time within the walls!””
