Description
Joe Collins, who, along with his fellow inmates, lives under the heavy thumb of the sadistic, power-tripping guard Captain Munsey. Only Collins₂s dreams of escape keep him going, but how can he possibly bust out of Munsey₂s chains? Matter-of-fact and ferocious, it builds to an explosive climax that shows the lengths men will go to when fighting for their freedom and asks the question of who society₂s real brutes are.
