First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
because I was
not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

America, The Land of Second Chance?
"In the past, we have worked together to bring mentors to the children of
prisoners, and provide treatment for the addicted, and help for the homeless.
Tonight I ask you to consider another group of Americans in need of help. This
year, some 600,000 inmates will be released from prison back into society.
We know from long experience that if they can't find work, or a home, or help, they are much more likely to commit more crimes and return to prison.
So tonight, I propose a four-year, 300 million dollar Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative to expand job training and placement services, to provide transitional housing, and to help newly released prisoners get mentoring, including from faith-based groups.
America is the land of the second chance, and when the gates of the prison open,
the path ahead should lead to a better life."
President George W. Bush-State of the Union Address for 2004
