Inmates in the detention center were all unsentenced, facing serious charges, akin to the detention center where Brian had been held in his past life. Generally, the process should be within a month, but sometimes there could be fluctuations.
Mrs. Gilman looked considerably haggard.
Previously, her husband had a good income, and his timid nature allowed her to live a life of luxury.
Nobody pampered her in the detention center.
Besides, that cowardly husband of hers had nearly cut off all contact with her. She didn't have money to hire a decent lawyer, and being not young anymore, one could foresee that her future was not going to be bright.
This wait for a sentence, the torment of an uncertain future, aged Mrs. Gilman by over a decade in appearance.
She hadn't expected Brian to come and see her.
"Has there been a change in the case? Can I get out now?" she asked Brian, nearly pleading.
