She is shocked by the rows of thick Plexiglas windows, each equipped with a telephone, each with a prisoner on one side and an outsider on the other. There is a teenage girl chatting with a prisoner who is presumably her father. Theres a married couple talking to their daughter. Theres a woman with a baby in her arms, sobbing into her phone as she begs her husband not to plead guilty for his crimes. Jail is terrifying to Geraldine, not only because its a house of criminals but also because its a cold slap in the face, a reminder of where she will eventually end up. Youve got to stay with me the whole time, Callo! Im serious, you CANNOT leave me here.Ill never, Callo vows, but hes eyeing her strangely. Just remember which side of the glass youre on right now, Geraldine.
