[It might not be a real person she's going up against, but the set of moves Faith uses to follow Taylor's demand matches up. There's still the possibility of her not knowing when to hold back and when to go full force, but those were judgement calls in each situation. Taylor had seen enough for initial assessment.
The mention of prison doesn't necessarily surprise her, but it isn't a story she's heard before. The security team was ragtag - couldn't be anything else, with their circumstances - and Taylor already had several different world overviews or really out of the ordinary backstories floating around in her head. They couldn't be fussy about who they signed up, she'd told Edgeworth as much. They needed physical strength and skill, and Faith had that. But they also needed to not be batshit crazy, and while Taylor's gut was pretty steady on Faith being a good vote (maybe a touch of arrogance, some attitude, that slight edge of something out of control), she couldn't see chasing information Faith was offering as a bad thing.]
What were you in for?
[There's no judgement in how she says it. There were a lot of ways someone could end up in prison, and a lot of things in her own past that could probably have taken her there, if she hadn't been in the Academy.]
