Young inmates serve death sentences and may delay execution by entering scientific and medical experiments benefiting people outside the prison.
Luka works with other inmates while facing danger, and the story describes people from different backgrounds working together for a common good.
Luka begins worn down by incarceration but must make life-or-death decisions while trying to retain his humanity.
Check in about frequent violent peril, including attacks by rats and zombies, murder or attempted murder, torture, an amputation and other injuries. Strong swearing, addictive drug use, medical experimentation and suicide are also identified.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
