Description
In a private Tennessee prison, “rehabilitation” is a word for the brochure and nothing more. Evelyn “Mama E” Washington has spent decades in the infirmary patching up men the system intends to break, tracking overdoses, beatings, and quiet deaths that never make headlines. Then a contractor shows up with a new machine—cables, headsets, clean white forms—sold as a way to “retrain” violent minds and cut costs.
Dez Rios lands on her block as the trial starts. He’s smart, angry, and marked as disposable. Strapped into the chair, fed images, memories, and corrections, he’s told the process will make him safer, calmer, easier to release. Instead, he feels pieces of himself stripped for parts. The state wants compliance. The company wants data. Nobody in charge cares what it does to the men on the table.
From her cramped office, Mama E watches old patterns sharpen into something new: seizures written off as “noncompliance,” sudden “suicides” that don’t match the charts, a program rolling out to other prisons before anyone can ask questions. Inside the machine, Dez learns to read its rhythms—and starts pushing back. Between them, an old nurse who still believes a life is a life and a prisoner who refuses to be turned into a product decide to drag the experiment into the light, even if it burns them.
