It's too bad war makes peopledisappear like chess pieces, and that prisonsturn prisoners into movie endings.

About This Quote

There are many things that make us feel like our life’s not worth living. Prison may be one of them. No one should be treated like a chess piece or a movie ending no matter how much they have done wrong to others. And, as for war, it makes people disappear, but it doesn’t turn prisoners into movie endings.

When someone is put in prison, they stay there until their sentence is done. What prison does is separate them from the rest of society so that they can’t harm anyone else. The best thing about being around people after being locked up is that it allows you to be part of society again.

For someone who has committed a crime against another person, being separated from the rest of the world only makes the world worse for them.
