My instincts scream at me to put this woman in her place, but she is one of the most lenient prison guards. Her replacement may confiscate my phone and destroy my letters, robbing me of my sole means of communication with you. You have become my lifeline, and I’m tempted to give in to her demands. But the thought of being unfaithful to you in any way revolts me to my very core. In my darkest hours, I wonder if this woman is the punishment for my sins.
