Quotes by Robin Gaby Fisher (?)

“The combination of economics and isolation allowed the institution to operate as an independent jurisdiction. And the politicians preferred it that way. Out of sight, out of mind. A conspiracy of silence.”
― Robin Gaby Fisher, The Boys of the Dark: A Story of Betrayal and Redemption in the Deep South

“The guards at the CMC were predominantly white and they reveled in using race to pit the prisoners against each other. The way Michael saw it, the enemy wasn’t black or white. The enemy was the state.”
― Robin Gaby Fisher, The Boys of the Dark: A Story of Betrayal and Redemption in the Deep South

“The general philosophy seemed to be to avoid taking responsibility for anything that went wrong in the system, at all costs.”
