American Me

Basic Synopsis:

Eric Close plays an inmate of Juvenile Hall who shares a dormitory with the newly-arrived Montoya Santana. He attacks during Santana's first night, and rapes him. As he turns to walk away, after threatening to knife him if Satana says anything to anyone about the rape, Santana grabs him, forcing him onto his back on the bed. Satana slits his rapist's throat with the knife used in the attack.

This scene, though short, has a strong impact on Satana's life, gaining him respect from the other inmates but condemning him to many more years in prison.
