The Innocence Device - William Kowalski - Bog

The year is 2147. Chago is a prisoner in a world made up only of prisoners and those who guard them. A high-tech machine that can determine innocence or guilt is introduced into the prison. People line up to walk through the Innocence Device and experience either immediate freedom or death. When they discover the machine is rigged, the prisoners riot. After the dust settles, Chago ends up in a position of power. But he soon finds not much has changed. "Kowalski is a talented and vivid stylist." --Washington Post
