They have slots in each cage, he tells me, and when they do the sign of peace, they can reach out to each other. One time an inmate held up his fingertip to a tiny hole in the grate. Fr. Williams placed his hand against the grate as well. “It really sums up the whole thing. You have this human being reaching through a cage to touch another human being within a bigger cage, within a prison.””
