They are there because they have been told they have committed crimes, but not one can remember doing what they have been accused of.
A form of brainwashing takes place, disguised as ''lessons''.
Some of the inmates have ''turned'': accepted their ''guilt'' and are passive.
For others, escape is their goal.
Unknown to the inmates, high-level scheming has led to their predicament.
Can anyone escape to help free all?
I enjoyed this book, but must protest at the publisher's lack of transparency in failing to state it is the first of a series.
The reader finds this out only at the end.
