The story

Short Eyes is set in an unnamed prison in New York City, whose inmates are predominantly African American or Puerto Rican. One day, Clark Davis, a young, middle-class white man accused of raping a young girl, arrives on remand. His fellow prisoners immediately turn on him—child molesters are considered the lowest form of prison life—except for Juan, one of the institution's older prisoners, who treats him with some dignity.
