Quote #1

"Yo, man, that's Icy! Oh, man." I had to turn away because just mentioning her made me want to cry. (2.36)

Reese doesn't miss much about home, except for his sister, Icy (okay, and his freedom). He feels sad just thinking about her. The flipside of this, of course, is how happy Icy makes him when he's out.

Quote #2

"Progress doesn't sound too bad," Icy had said. She was crying because she knew I was sad. (4.52)

Being behind bars isn't just hard on Reese; it's also hard for his little sister. She's left to pretty much fend for herself without Reese around since he's basically her only reliable family member.

Quote #3

He told me he didn't think I was his real son.

That was supposed to make me feel bad and it did. (4.59-4.60)

Reese's father is a total jerk. Even though Reese knows that, their bad relationship still makes him sad…which is exactly his dad's goal. Ugh.
