There's a dismal logic at work in jails around America.
It's an architecture of purgatory.
These are the places that house inmates in that gray zone of waiting.
Waiting for trial, waiting to be sentenced, waiting to be transferred to a more permanent prison dwelling.
In most of these places, inmates are stored in pods, as they call them.
Huge rooms of painted concrete, in which metal bunks offer nothing like privacy, as inmates mill about under the gaze of all-seeing cameras and keepers watching in some central control room day and night all the time.
And the minutes and hours crawl.
Aimlessly.
Endlessly.
Tony Fratto waited for her transfer to prison while encased in just such a place, the Elko County Jail.
Where she languished in the constant company of a hundred or so other waiting women.
Day after day, night after night in that concrete podcast.
For sixteen months.
And she thought about things like
The value of telling her story to us.
And on the last possible day, the day before her transfer to the state prison.
A jailer led her in to see me.
I'm Keith.
Nice to meet you.
So here she was, Tony Fratto.
