"He had a shrine to you, all over the wall.''
Iman Farah was a former inmate of Wentworth Correctional Centre.
Iman was a refugee from a war torn country who moved to Australia for a better life. While undergoing treatment for PTSD, she met Mike Pennisi and formed a relationship with him.
Things took a dramatic turn when Iman killed Mike because he was enamoured with Franky Doyle (Wentworth) after her assault on him. So much to the point where Iman tore down a photo shrine of Franky which annoyed Iman.
Iman was arrested and sent to Wentworth on a mission to kill Franky, but ended up killed herself when Joan Ferguson snapped her neck.
It is revealed that Iman had moved all of Mike's stuff to a lock up garage which included the photo shrine.

Franky says that they are pigs and Iman says that her mother had protected her from all the things there until she died, Franky asks her how she isn't angry and says that she would be out for blood. Iman says that it was 'just a body' and that there were 'many' in the camps but prison is different as they have to protect their hearts and if they can protect that then they are 'free'. Iman then tells Franky she can't get the posts she wants and Franky tells her that they will find another way.
