			=== In-Processing ===
			On the evening of 27 July, Sutton arrived at STRIP Jubbah. She was immediately in-processed and assigned the serial number 29451. According to custodial guard Hussein Hanafi, she appeared to have "accepted her reality" quickly, and was "taking it well".

			He shares:<blockquote>'''''<big>"We often get girls from Western countries who get hysterical during their in-processing. They literally have a full meltdown. The crying and wailing is non-stop and it goes on for days. I remember Emma because she was relatively calm. It seemed that she had already accepted her new reality as a whore. When it came time for us to break her in, she was quite cooperative."</big>'''''</blockquote>On 28 July, Hanafi and three other guards entered Sutton's cell to conduct the traditional "breaking-in" ritual for new Recruit Inmate Prostitutes. According to him, she told the guards that there was no need to put her in restraints, as she was "willing to cooperate". However, the guards nevertheless followed protocol and placed her in full body restraints while taking turns to use her.
