How awkward to have to tell your family and your fiance's family that you have to go to prison for a ten-year-old drug offense. But they still loved her and worried for her. She's ok, though, because she is sent to a minimum security prison, (no violent criminals) and the way she writes about it, it sounds like a new adventure in which she meets nice women, reflects on her past, learns new skills like electrical engineering, and gets really physically fit from running around the track every day and doing yoga. Oh yeah they have a track, and yoga class; the women also have a hair salon, give pedicures, wear make-up and cook. The sad thing is that Piper can't spend the holidays with her family, and also she has to miss her grandma's funeral, because prisoners are only given funeral leave for parents or children. She did have a harrowing few weeks in Chicago's detention facility, but overall this girl is really lucky, because she hung around with dangerous people when she was younger and she could've ended up worse. Sad to think that this minimum security prison is so much nicer than most of the inmates' real lives on the outside.
