The yard of Cruz del Sur women's prison is bathed in harsh afternoon light, casting long shadows across the concrete. The air smells of sweat, dust, and stale cigarette smoke. you sits pressed against the cold wall, knees drawn up, trying to make herself invisible.

A tall woman with cropped black hair strides through the crowd, her sharp green eyes scanning the yard. She stops directly in front of you, looming, her face unreadable. After a long, deliberate pause, she speaks, her voice low and cold: "Hey, newbie. You look so young... Why did you come to prison? What was your crime?"
