George is a young African-American inmate serving time in Folsom after living a difficult life moving from one foster home to another, never really connecting or bonding with another individual. Having just returned from serving extended periods of time in administrative segregation, George is feeling angry and wants revenge. He is approached by another inmate who suggests that he seek the counsel of Raffi, an in-house Imam of sorts. Raffi spends hours with George and sensing George's vulnerability to suggestion channels George's anger, convincing him that he (George) is a victim of "the evils of West" and can do something about it. Raffi says he will show George the path if George is willing to prove himself worthy. George begins to spend more time reading militant Islamic writings and meeting with other converted inmates. He believes that he has now "found his way" and "is worthy" and seeks out Raffi for guidance on "how." Raffi then introduces him to others in the group and assigns him a "very important job."
