For young Summer, one inmate really got through to her. Ice Mike was an intimidating man anyway for the diminutive teen, but it was his words that tore through her and brought out her tears.

"She paralyzed! And you doing the sh** you do?" he said, getting right in her face. "I ain’t got no mama! And you abusing yo mama! She paralyzed and you taking advantage of her!"
