The issue of prisoners ... will be raised during the home secretary level talks, and when I go to Islamabad,

I'm troubled by it. It's another element of this administration's policy and the treatment of detainees and prisoners which I'm afraid will come back to haunt us at a future time.

I needed a place to put the dogs. The prisoners ruined the jail, so I put the prisoners in the tents and I had a nice place to put the dogs. We treat the cats nice too, and horses. I have the inmates take care of the animals. It's therapy too, you see.

If the U.S. refuses to comply with the universal human rights principles, what reason do other nations have to comply? Torture is counter productive and the indefinite detention of prisoners without trial does not make America safer.

I'll tell you what I think is not okay. Have you ever seen that show on MSNBC, 'Lockup?' It's a reality show that takes place inside a prison. Do the prisoners have to sign release forms? Or do they have to be on it whether they like it or not?

In the battle of Kunu-ri, more than 5,000 American soldiers were killed, wounded or taken as prisoners of war. Ninety percent of my unit was killed.

In my worst nightmares I never imagined that my people wouldn't care about the mitzvah of rescuing prisoners to such an extent that they would bring to power my former commander -- the man who betrayed and abandoned me for 21 years.

His life probably couldn't be any harder. He's on the lowest rung of anybody in the jail. He's constantly being victimized as a consequence of his conduct. You must be aware that certain prisoners endure the wrath of other prisoners, especially those that are involved in the deaths of children.

I didn't spend a lot of time with prison guards, but my father was an assistant district attorney for a long time so I was always hearing stories about prisoners and prison guards.

He said to me, ''We are now going towards your friends, and if you attempt to run, or we are insulted, we will blow your brains out.'' When we had got into the road they formed a circle, and ordered the prisoners in the center, and to lead me in the front.

I don't want to talk about the environment and the American Indian viewpoint, I hate the word Native American. Its a government term, which was created in the year 1970 in the Department of the Interior, a generic term that describes all the prisoners of the United States of America.

The judicial authorities are imposing a grim ordeal on three journalists under pressure from the governor of an unstable state. The Nigerian press is still in the grip of harsh legislation, a brutal police force and authoritarian governors. On this New Year's Eve, we call for their release and we reiterate our commitment to the independent press and, in particular, to the three Port Harcourt prisoners who are exposed to dangerous challenges.

These prisoners didn't choose poodles. They wanted tough, aggressive dogs, and they picked the best dog they could find, a dog which you heard evidence of is meaner than a pit bull.

This home secretary will forever be associated with the scandal of releasing prisoners on to the streets.

This has nothing to do whatsoever with treatment of prisoners ... I'm not interested in any of that.

The human aspect could have prevailed, everything could have been set aside and acted as an anchor for the great leap they could have taken politically. But they have been the prisoners of the past.

A government that allows prisoners to be shot at should resign.

The first prisoners will be ones that are currently housed in Okanogan County.

Among them is that prisoners are exposed to extreme temperatures, or long detention in isolation.

The legal community seems to think that the jail, courts and clerks need to stay together. Transporting prisoners can be very expensive. If we move the jail to the county farm and keep the courts downtown that could cause a number of issues. And you can spend a tremendous amount of money guarding prisoners outside the jail environment.

The law is that prisoners have a right to refuse any treatment, and physicians have to respect that informed decision that those individuals have consented to. So anything that breaches that informed decision is not defensible in law.

I don't know how prisoners of war are ever heroes unless they escape.
