Quotes by Stephen Reid  (?)

“Prisons are about addictions. Most prisoners are casualties of their own habits. They have all created victims — some in cruel and callous ways — but almost to a man they have first practised that cruelty on themselves. Prison provides the loneliness that fuels addiction. It is the slaughterhouse for addicts, and all are eventually delivered to its gates.”
Stephen Reid, A Crowbar in the Buddhist Garden

“What to pack for the digger? Bruce Powe once addressed a Writers’ Union AGM, and one phrase had stuck with me: “the future of solitude is reading.” My future was a lock. I’d better pack the reading.”
Stephen Reid, A Crowbar in the Buddhist Garden

“felt good that, although there was no future, there would always be a past.”
Stephen Reid, A Crowbar in the Buddhist Garden
