When she was sent to jail, a guard gave favors to her and her son and told her that he could help her with her immigration case. When he initiated sex with her, she did not feel comfortable saying no. Because a guard can exercise so much control over the daily life of a detained person, including when she can eat, when she can sleep and when she can be punished notions of consent have little meaning in this context.
