As others have pointed out, May has not served her sentence yet. She is on parole, meaning that in exchange for her promise to behave she is allowed outside of prison and limited autonomy but her activities and mobility are still heavily restricted. The usual argument about punishment versus rehabilitation aside, she needs to demonstrate that she can play nicely with others in the outside world or parole will be revoked and she will be back to serving her sentence in prison.

It may also be pertinent to mention that May has her *own* privilege, insofar as she is on Parole.. and working.
Not all parolee's can say such a thing.
On a slightly related note...
I am wondering how much of this conversation is US-centric...?
Cornelius:
If I hear privilege being not getting shot by the police, I'm glad to be living in Europe.
Some elements definitely are US-centric, but it's a concept you start meeting here as well. Even if the social context does not translate.

No matter who you are, there's always someone somewhere worse off.

I'm weary of all these arguments over privilege. The important question is what will Winslow see after sniffing his first cup of tea.
