After Dick and Perry go to jail, they change very little. After they are put in jail Capote continues to make the reader like Perry, but not Dick. Dick stays to be what he always has been, a cold-hearted middle-aged man with no regrets, while Perry continues to be a caring person. Both prisoners make a plan to escape, while Dick is explaining his plan, Dick states, “alone of course; Perry’s future did not concern him.” This shows that he blames Perry for being caught and is another way Capote makes the reader not like Dick after he is arrested. But when Perry is telling what his plan is to escape, Perry states, “What about Hickock? All Preparations must include him.” This is Capote making Perry seem like a good person and to make the reader feel bad for him. Another example of Capote making the reader sorry for Perry is when he is kept in the ladies jail. This was the first time that any man had ever been kept in the ladies stall and Capote does this because of all of the other references to Perry being a woman, and for the reader to feel bad for him. While Perry and Dick are in Jail, Capote continues making you feel bad for Perry, while making you dislike Dick because of their ideas about escaping and where Perry is put while in jail.
