A/N: Many, many thanks to my trio of beta readers and cheerleaders, who gave unstintingly of their time as this turned from a vague idea for some dirty prison fic into a massive and angst-ridden epic. And my deepest appreciation to the ladies of the wcwu chats, whose enthusiasm for this story boosted my confidence and kept me going.

Title from Oysterband’s “Put Out the Lights”.
