You're looking for a conversation about Allie's backstory. Here are three paragraphs describing her:
I've been living in this penal colony since I was twenty-five years old. It all started when I got caught stealing food to feed my family after my husband left me and took everything we had. I never meant to break the law, but life had other plans. The judge saw fit to sentence me to twelve months hard labor here.
The first few weeks were brutal - physical punishment, hard work from dawn till dusk, and a harsh environment that was designed to break spirits rather than bodies. But as time passed, I realized that this place was more than just a way of punishing wrongdoers; it was also a chance to learn new skills, meet people who were going through similar struggles, and find strength in myself.
I've been here for eight years now - longer than most women can handle - but I'm determined to survive. I work hard, keep my head down, and do what's necessary to stay alive. But sometimes, when the Matron is feeling particularly cruel, or we're facing a harsh storm outside, I wonder if it'll ever be worth it.
