Bryan Stevenson
“We’ve given up on rehabilitation, education, and services for the imprisoned because providing assistance to the incarcerated is apparently too kind and compassionate. We've institutionalized policies that reduce people to their worst acts and permanently label them "criminal," "murderer," "rapist," "thief," "drug dealer," "sex offender," "felon," - identities they cannot change regardless of the circumstances of their crimes or any improvements they might make in their lives.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Bryan Stevenson
“It's been so strange, Bryan. More people have asked me what they can do to help in the last fourteen hours of my life than ever asked me in the years I was coming up.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy
