Delores has been incarcerated for two years in a federal prison for assaulting a federal marshal. During this time, she feels that she has been sexually harassed by the male correctional guards, who keep whistling at her. However, her biggest complaints are that her toilet keeps overflowing, and there is a strange odor coming from the cell next to her. She believes a rat or mouse may have gotten caught in some pipes in the wall because she has seen rats on the floor from time to time.
