Legal Brothels

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or brothels:

    “If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    “Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
