A charming, pretty young gangbanger, Carla had a good home life but was drawn into gangs because of the thrill of it. She often charmed her way out of trouble and made herself appear to judges as if she were on the cusp of reform. She always made good grades and could easily work herself out of any trouble she was in. However, she is ultimately sent to the Dorothy Kirby center and between the center and her PO, Sharon Stegall, Carla decides to go straight. Carla was saved by the system in Humes's view.
