任何一个你不 喜欢又离不开的地方， 任何一种你不喜欢又摆脱不了的生活，就是监狱。如果你感到痛苦和不自由，希望你心里永远有一团不会熄灭的火焰，不要麻木，不要被同化！

There is not a day goes by I do not feel regret. Not because I am in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. Then a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can not. That kid is long gone and this old man is all that is left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It is just a bull... word. So you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I do not give a shit.

我无时不刻地对自己的所作所为深感内疚，这不是因为我在这里（指监狱），也不是讨好你们（指假释官）。回首曾经走过的弯路，我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么，告诉他我现在的感受，告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是，我做不到了。那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里，只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人？骗人罢了！小子，别再浪费我的时间了，盖你的章吧，我不会再废话了。
