Emanuel Steward

Jack Henry Abbott

I have been desperate to escape for so many years now, it is routine for me to try to escape.

Jack Henry Abbott

When I'm forced by circumstances to be in a crowd of prisoners, it's all I can do to refrain from attack.

Jack Henry Abbott

Imagine a thousand more such daily intrusions in your life, every hour and minute of every day, and you can grasp the source of this paranoia, this anger that could consume me at any moment if I lost control.

Jack Henry Abbott

One morning I woke up and was plunged into psychological shock. I had forgotten I was free.

Jack Henry Abbott

Maybe someone will step up, but they don't have anyone right now.
