A moment of shared humanity

It grips my heart, and I can't stop thinking about this moment that would have been so normal if it hadn't taken place behind prison walls - behind prison walls intended for juvenile male offenders but a place now housing adult females as well.

"It's a girl. I'm having a girl. I'm going to name her Victoria."

Pure joy. Sweet expectation. A moment of shared humanity. Behind prison walls.
