Summary "When prisoners check into Washington, D.C.'s maximum security 'sugar cube,' it's for keeps. Here, and in sugar cubes across the country, lie suspended not just the world's most dangerous criminals but also scores of so-called 'center inmates'--secret, troublesome activists whose only offense was to challenge those in power. But now someone wants those secrets brought to light. A crack team led by idealist Laurel Cole infiltrates the prison to break out one special inmate. Yet Laurel soon discovers that attempting to escape from an inescapable prison is only the start of her worries. For the conspiracy that has held Eliot Russo captive for over eight years stretches further and deeper than Laurel and her team ever envisioned, and she will be risking more than her life to uncover the government's lies."--p. [4] of cover.
