Prisoner Solidarity: Just Talking

I was sitting in a police station after being arrested. I was in my own cell. Someone next to me was panicking and crying a lot, while also kicking the cell doors and bed. The police ignored her for a while but then started threatening her, saying if she did not shut up that they would take her stuff and put her in a paper gown.

 

When police left the area and the woman calmed down a bit, I started talking with her. It was not much, but she did stop panicking. She thanked me on our way to court.
