“I am 36 years old and have been a criminal all my life. I have 11 felony convictions against me. I have served 20 years of my life in jails, reform schools and prisons. I know why I am a criminal.”— Carl Panzram, www-rohan.sdsu.edu
“At that place I got to be an experienced wolf. I would start the morning with sodomy, work as hard at it as I could all day and sometimes half the night…I was so busy committing sodomy that I didn't have time left to serve Jesus as I had been taught to do in those reform schools.”— Carl Panzram, www-rohan.sdsu.edu
