East of Eden

'You'll go in soon," his father went on, not hearing. "And I want to tell you so you won't be surprised. They'll first strip off your clothes, but they'll go deeper than that. They'll shuck off any little dignity you have-you'll lose what you think of as your decent right to live and to be let alone to live. They'll make you live and eat and sleep
