The Harsh Reality of Survival
Quotes:
It's up to you. You're worth just as much dead as you are alive. The rule here is total silence. We make no pretense of rehabilitation here. We're not priests, we're processors. A meatpacker processes live animals into edible ones. We process dangerous men into harmless ones. This we accomplish by breaking you. Breaking you physically, spiritually, and here. Strange things happen to the head here. Put all hope out of your mind... and masturbate as little as possible. It drains the strength.

Quotes:
As of this moment, you are the property of the Penial Administration of French Guiana.

As for France, the nation has disposed of you. France has rid herself of you altogether! Forget France... and put your clothes on.
