In this, they open the gate separating the males and females during the day and close it at night.
"Man. I thought prison would be something. It's lame as fuck."
"On ma." Ray sighed heavily as she sat back-to-back with Tay. "You got a queen?"
"You a damn cheater." Tay said when she won again, grabbing the cards to shuffle them. "Let's play speed."
"Aight." The first round went by quickly, Ray winning easily since she was faster at card games than anyone in her family. They continued to play, Tay determined to win before their names were being called. "Hey Andre. The bump go down?"
"It's going." Andre said, spooning more salt in his mouth. Ray rolled her eyes and pulled the jar from her bra, motioning for him to take off the bandage so she could reapply the product.
"So this is an integrated prison?" Jade questioned, eyeing the big lady walking by.
"Only during the day. At night we're separated again."
"So. Is that a lady?" Jade asked, Ray glancing over her shoulder.
"Oh! Hey girly! How's your arm doing?" She walked over to the tall lady, unwrapping the cloth and checking out her arm. "It's healing. Come, I want you to meet my friends."
"She made friends?" Trina asked, not believing that Ray already made prison friends. "You guys have only been here for a day!"
"Olga, this is Jade, Cat, Trina, and Andre. Guys, this is Olga. She's basically a bodyguard." Ray said, Olga glaring down at Jade
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at a big, stupid lady in prison. What are you looking at?" Jade mocked, Olga yelling at her. "Oh, me make big man lady mad."
"Olga, go calm down before you hurt your arm." Olga didn't move, staring at Jade. Ray reached up and pinched her ear, bringing her head down. "Olga now."
"Hey! Call me! We'll go skirt shopping!" Jade yelled after her, Ray giving her a look. "What?"
"Must you aggravate our fellow prisoners?" Tori asked her exasperatedly.
"Yes I must."
"One time, when my brother was in prison, he told the people in charge that he was vegetarian. So they gave him special meals."
"Cat, he was on a plane." Tay reminded her, his hand tightly holding Jade's.
"Oh yeah!" Cat said and giggled, Ray reaching through the bars and rubbing her head.
"Will you guys please get us out of here?" Tori begged them.
"We're trying." Trina said.
"Everybody's doing everything they can."
