She has long blonde hair she wears down, just pulled back with a barrette on each side. <br><br>When she came back to the office from jail she looked TERRIBLE.

We were visiting a male prison but the officers made this joke about how if I was missing a stamp, they'd have to lock me up. <br><br>But to be honest, I sort of get gallows humor more now that I work in family court.

Very glad it was a virtual experience for me, and kinda sorry it was a real experience for you. But it made for good writing fuel, at least! So that's good, I guess.
