The New Program
History repeats itself...
In the 1940's and 50's, the United States Penitentiary in Odessa was the home of a revolutionary inmate rehabilitation a fast, simple miracle surgery that could reform even the most hopeless case in minutes. Recipients were rendered quiet, docile, and manageable.
The surgery was called "transorbital lobotomy."
Now, more than sixty years later, Odessa is getting a new program. It's just as promising as lobotomy, with none of the mess. And the Long-term Inmate Research and Rehabilitation group says it's completely reversible.
They say it's been a huge success everywhere they've tried it.
And that the details are classified.
Marcia Trembley, a correctional unit supervisor for USP Odessa, has worked with inmates for long enough to know that there's no such thing as a magic bullet for rehabilitation. She can see history repeating itself. If only someone, anyone, would believe her....

About the author
Sam T Willis
6 books14 followersI write stories like ninjas skulk around in the dark: constantly. Most of them disappear into that place where short-term memories go instead of becoming long-term ones, but occasionally I manages to pin one down before it escapes. When I’m not pursuing an endless procession of characters and scenes through the catacombs of my brain, I’m chasing two diminutive demons (my son and daughter) through the recesses of their house in Schenectady, NY. When these two worlds collide, one question arises: “Daddy, why do you make up this crazy stuff?”

It's a quick read with an authentic voice. I'm curious to read the rest of Sam's works.
