Crystal Gordon
Crystal is religious to the point of self-righteousness. Morally judgmental and critical of what she sees as a lax drugs policy. This is often used by other prisoners to their advantage: using Crystal's moral instincts to push their own agendas. Despite this, she is kind and caring, especially towards Zandra. While in G Wing, she meets and falls in love with prison technician Josh Mitchell. Upon release, she moves in with Josh.
Crystal returns to prison after harbouring Shell Dockley and Denny Blood while they were on the run. While in prison the second time, she becomes pregnant but claims that she was still a virgin and that the pregnance was the result of a miracle. When the child is born, she names it Zandra and moves into the Mother and Baby Unit. After another baby dies on the MBU, she loses her faith and starts running "anti-Bible classes". Due to a sample mix-up by Di Barker, Crystal is accused of being on drugs until Charlotte Myddleton organises a second test - the mix-up was a scam by Di to break up Crystal and Josh's relationship.

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or gordon:
“The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men’s thinkings run laterally, never vertically.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
