Benny Quinto Character Analysis

A Nicaraguan immigrant who once studied to join the priesthood, but eventually came to the U.S. to make money. He worked as a smuggler to get out of Arizona, where he was forced to live in horrible conditions with other immigrants until he could pay off the debt he incurred in his journey over the border. Unable to cope with the “wicked” drug scene in Baltimore, Benny bought a ticket to Delaware and settled in Redwood Apartments. Benny still leads prayer circles for his neighbors—and still supplies them with weed.
