Most of the women in Bronzefield are sent here on remand from local courts, waiting for sentencing on anything from fraud to murder. Few stay longer than a couple of months, when they're either released or moved on to more long-term accommodation. Which wreaks havoc with the performance schedule.

I turned up the volume on the television set and learned that this forlorn figure was none other than Neil Entwistle, the British man charged in the murder of his wife and newly-born daughter. Entwistle was escorted out of the plane by a contingent of armed officials large enough to invade Canada and led into a marked police car that looked freshly washed and buffed for the occasion. He was then driven to a jail in Hopkinton...
