Part 3, Chapter 21 Summary

Elaine checks in with her parole officer for the first time. His name is Alfonso Camacho. Camacho is the parole officer who visited Yvonne's apartment during Elaine's first clemency request. He submitted a satisfactory report concerning his visit, but to no avail. Elaine asks Camacho if she can visit Jamel on Riker's Island. He says no. He pays a surprise visit to her apartment and she is home. At her next meeting she asks for permission to leave the city. Camacho authorizes the leave so Elaine can speak at the state legislature's Black and Puerto Rican Caucus. She fails to show up prior to the visit for her travel pass, then shows up two days late for her next meeting. Camacho lectures her, but does not take it any further.
