"At a time when prisons and jails are seen primarily as a place for punishment and retribution, this department takes a longer view and believes that government can do better than blindly releasing thousands of drug addicts and violent men back into society, knowing that new victims await their return. And, as we think about the limitations of our criminal justice system, we must be willing to acknowledge that when a government imprisons, a government cannot abdicate its responsibility to run safe and humane prisons. And, in fact, as we have seen here in San Francisco, it can do so much more.".

- Michael Hennessey has been the elected sheriff of San Francisco since 1980.
