To be locked up, you need a crime, yes? That is how it works? Now me, I am rotten. I know so. I have done that which'd have my head on a basket, or swinging as you shall. But not here. And yet, in France, where I am bad, I am free, and here, where I have done nothing except be pulled from that pool, I am as condemned as you.So what makes you think that this place, what locks you and plots to kill you for no reason what we have done here, will give you a fair trial?
