Basically, what I said last time.
But I'll share some additional choice quotations.
In the prison, waiting to surrender:
Larry handed me a foie gras sandwich that he had made from last night's leftovers. I wasn't hungry at all but unwrapped it from the tinfoil and munched every gourmet bit miserably. I am fairly certain that I was the first Seven Sisters grad to eat duck liver chased with a Diet Coke in the lobby of a federal penitentiary. then again, you never know.
Red-light district!
I went to wait outside the big recreation room where visits were held. A red light was mounted on the wall of the visiting room.

The mandatory GED program had been temporarily shut down."
And yet "there was a salon room off the camp's main hallway, a space that occupied as much room as the law library--about the size of a large closet."

Kerman loses points with describing her "job skills" interview suit as a "ugly tweed librarian outfit."
