The Ohio Reformatory for Women was under siege. The state highway patrol had taken control of the facility. Every cottage was now manned by a state trooper. The entire campus remained under lockdown.She asked the trooper in charge of her dorm if she could make a call. "I don't see a line here; go ahead."She called her attorney and told him what had happened. He was not surprised that the guards had set them up, but he was shocked that she had access to that number and had created all of this chaos. He had not known such a number even existed. He smiled to himself; this is a big damn deal, he thought. He felt this latest sequence of events had only endangered her more; he called the media and gave them a heads up. In this kind of situation, the more public attention that is focused on the facility the more careful they would be.Within fifteen minutes, news choppers filled the air, several TV news trucks were parked at the front gate and newspaper reporters where everywhere.
