What do you think should change?
In her situation, I pretty much believe she was socialized to be this way. Brendon says her father is exactly the same. I honestly don't think the prison system could "help" her because she doesn't feel guilt, she doesn't care who she hurts, and she seems to only have one emotion--anger. How can that be cured or changed? I think in her case, prison is simply what she needs to keep her from hurting people, especially her son who still lives at home with her.
