Name: Forrest Clark
Age: 26
Species: Australian Shepard/Human
Role: Inmate
Forrest is not a criminal in the traditional sense. His intentions mean well, he just doesn't go about things in the best way. He's sweet, friendly, but also not the brightest bulb in the room. He has spent time in and out of juvenile detention for piracy and selling counterfeit goods, but has no history of violence. If there is anyone who doesn't belong in the facility, it's probably Forrest.
He's found a great sense of accomplishment working alongside Phil as an assistant cook, and looks up to Phil as a point of inspiration. He also helps Omari run a dungeons and dragons club every week and runs a "music club" with Dion where they talk about their favourite music. Speaking of music, Forrest is a massive idol fan and loves Hal's idol group!

FORREST
Can you believe the new album comes out next month? I can't believe Mr. Foxglove is gonna buy it for me!
Hal is back at his bed, looking around at the sparse area. Forrest, Omari and Bo walk up the gangway to their beds nearby. Forrest looks at Hal, then does a double take, and his eyes widen.
FORREST
It's you! You're Hal!
HAL
(He laughs)
Yes, it's me! Dion told me you know me.
FORREST
It is such an honour. I'm Forrest, I have listened to your groups music for years! Out of all the places I expected to meet you, it wasn't here!
HAL
I'm guessing... You know?
FORREST
Yeaaah... I know about the trial. But you seem to be handling it well!
