Laura Bates Quotes

We Met Three Years Prior, In 2003, When I Created The First-ever Shakespeare Program In A Solitary Confinement Unit, And We Spent Three Years Working Together In That Unit. Now We Have Received Unprecedented Permission To Work Together, Alone, Unsupervised, To Create A Series Of Shakespeare Workbooks For Prisoners. Newton Is Gesticulating So Animatedly That It Draws The Attention Of An Officer Walking By Our Little Classroom. He Pops His Head Inside. "Everything Okay In Here?" He Asks. "Just Reading Shakespeare," I Reply. He Shakes His Head And Walks On. "That Is Crazy!" Newton Repeats, His Head Still In The Book. A Record Ten And A Half Consecutive Years In Solitary Confinement, And He's Not Crazy, He's Not Dangerous - He's Reading Shakespeare. And Maybe, Just Maybe, It Is Because He's Reading Shakespeare That He Is Not Crazy, Or Dangerous.
