We are in touch. I wouldn't just leave her hanging out to dry here.
I understand it's hard when you get assigned a young inmate, but you're not her parent, and treating her like a kid isn't going to get you anywhere. Rose needs someone who's going to be there for her and be a role model, and yeah, you need to set an example and boundaries for her, but she's not a kid. I know it's a fine line to walk, but it's what you have to do if you're going to get through to her. [At some point down the line, Rose might come to think of him as family or something, but he feels like heading down that line at first might be a disaster considering, well. Everything. :|]
