Biography:
Tubbs, referred to in the play's dialogue as "JAILOR," is "a typical small-town turnkey" (206). He is talkative and deferential to the jail's visitors, but also and unintentionally insulting to visitors and prisoners alike. His racist and fundamentalist opinions are inextricably mixed with what he hopes to be courtesy. He is occasionally aware that he is "talking too much" (209) and tries to apologize for his behavior but he cannot seem to help himself from expressing his contradictory remarks.
