This test, administered by the state's Department of Corrections, began as a remedial experiment, which became a wager and later evolved into a passion with unimaginable results. A wealthy and idealistic mayor was challenged by a skeptical district attorney to prove his long-standing claim that prison rehabilitation can work-that it will make productive citizens of those formerly convicted, sentenced and incarcerated. Although the wager was between the mayor and D.A., behind the scenes, the city's police chief had hidden influence over the experiment that was soon becoming the proving ground for paroled inmates and unwitting citizens. In Righteous Pact, you will witness unusual efforts to conceal that which conversely revealed stunning climaxes and uncover some of the city's dirty little secrets.
