They say only the dead can reach hell, but this isn't the truth.
Imagine whippings so bad they'll scar you for the rest of your life. Think of bruises covering our entire body, from head to toe, and yet you're still beaten more. Have nightmares about the faces of the guards who lock you in closet-sized cells and then bare their teeth at your through the bars. Hallucinate about the thirty-one unmarked crosses that line the back lawn.
Do you still believe whoever said that?
You shouldn't.
Lord knows what you did to get in the reformatory to begin with, but it must have been bad. Cursed at an authority. Spit on the sidewalk. Cut class. Had a fight. Killed someone. But you can guarantee it wasn't as bad as the treatment you'll receive at Marianna Reformatory. You thought you were a badass? What about when you have to fight the urge to cry whenever your clothes touch your skin? What about when the guards do things to you no one else should? What about when you realize no one will believe you? Are so still so badass then?
Many of Marianna, Florida's children have become grown-ups in the few short months they spend in the facility, if they ever emerge again.
Isn't it hot in hell?
