Blackridge Correctional Facility was built like a fortress\u2014cold, efficient, and designed to hold its silence.
Every hallway had a camera. Every door had an electronic lock. Every inmate was tracked by a digital record that recorded their movements down to the minute.It was the kind of place where secrets weren\u2019t supposed to exist.Until one whisper changed everything.The First SignsIt began in late November with Inmate #241 \u2014 Mara Jennings, twenty-nine years old, serving time for armed robbery.
