Sylvia Venables is a middle-aged woman from a church group who visits Thomas shortly after he is imprisoned at San Pedro, and who continues to see him throughout his sentence. She is pious, and he never drinks or takes cocaine in her presence. She is kind and has a good sense of humor, and Thomas greatly values her friendship.
