Lockdown: Escape from Furnace

(4) YA Alex, a teenage burglar and bully, is framed for murder and incarcerated in the Furnace, a private prison governed by monstrous men with an insidious agenda. Despite many obstacles, Alex makes friends, improves his character, and plans an escape. Gory cruelties and unpredictable threats provide most of the impetus for the story. A shameless cliffhanger closes the volume.
