Laws
Inside San Pedro prison the inmates have developed their own laws and rules. Each sector annually elects a delegate (leader) and a financial secretary. There is little tolerance for those who have committed crimes against women or children and they are strongly disciplined by other inmates. Many are killed, and those who survive must pay for the services of the prison hospital.

Famous quotes containing the word laws:
“Kings have many ears and many eyes.... They have ears that listen a hundred miles from them; they have eyes that espy out more things than men would think. Wherefore, it is wisdom for subjects not only to keep their princes’ laws and ordinances in the face of the world but also privily ... for conscience sake.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
