Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"The best law enforcement has little value if prison sentences are only temporary and embittering way stations for men whose release means a return to crime."

"No national strategy against crime can succeed if we do not restore more of our first offenders to productive society."

"We have been talking about protecting them for a long, long time."

"I do not believe that a man should have to pay with his life or with his health for his right to earn a living for his family."
