All the pretty horses

Out of nowhere, Rawlins and John Grady are arrested. They are taken to the Encantada jail where they see Blevins and Rawlins is tortured until he confesses to crimes he did not do, though they did not torture John Grady. Later they guards put Blevins, John Grady, and Rawlins in the back of the truck; they are headed South for the Saltillo prison. Finally, when they arrive at an abandoned farm, they take Blevins out and shoot him, then they proceed going South. In the prison, it is brutal. John Grady and Rawlins fight for survival everyday. Later they asked to see Perez, a wealthy prisoner who is trying to bribe them. When they refuse, Rawlins is stabbed and cut up, so he is sent to the infirmary. Then, John Grady goes and talks to Perez, curious to see why this all happened to Rawlins. Perez explains to him that he basically must take the bribe. John Grady refuses it again, and goes out to but a knife; getting ready for the attack that awaits him. The next day it does, but holding up, John Grady manages to stab the guy in the heart. Later he is also taken to the infirmary because he is badly hurt. Days pass and John Grady is finally taken to the warden with an envelope of money. Rawlins and John Grady are then set free from the prison. Soon then find out that Alejandra's aunt, Alfonsa, was the one who bailed them. Scared for life from Blevins death, Rawlins starts heading home-back to Texas.John Grady cole then looks for a ride back North to Don Hector's ranch.
