...young boy on his mother's hand stepped brightly out of Jo-Lynn Shoe Shoppe--with a springy gait that said his whole world had changed simply because he had been reshod. They turned left and headed for Lampe Drugs, a family operation since 1940. Across the street at Faeth's, the third, fourth and fifth generations of the Faeth family catered to customers in a cigar shop where you can sip a cold Pabst for a buck, buy a box of shotgun shells, find out where the catfish are jumping, play a game of billiards or drop the kids...

Jenny Jones is on the TV, and she is looking good, but no one looks. Instead the inmates study the Bible, which they know better than some preachers...
...buried, although the truth is that when they die, no one comes, and they get buried right here on the Farm. Cain thinks he can summon hope through a four-year Bible college, or the amateur rodeo the prisoners put on every year, or having them pick cotton by hand in the fields that were once a real plantation, and still really are, for 4[cents] an hour...
