Synopsis
In 1995, fourteen-year-old Veto Ruiz enters Central Juvenile Hall wearing a new pair of Nike Cortez his mother worked two double shifts to buy.
By the end of his first night, officers have tried to force him into a fight—and everyone wants his shoes.
Inside Central, fear controls everything. Teenagers are divided by race, older boys prey on the weak, visits disappear without warning, and violent officers turn fights into entertainment. Reports are changed. Evidence vanishes. Those who tell the truth are punished.
Veto believes staying quiet will keep him safe.
He is wrong.
With help from Tank, Isaiah, Luis, Andre, Rico, Jesse, and two officers willing to risk everything, Veto begins exposing what happens behind the locked doors. But the people running Central will do anything to protect the institution—including turning the teenagers against one another.
To survive, Black and Mexican teenagers who were taught to be enemies must finally stand together.
Because inside Central Juvenile Hall, there is no safe side.
A raw fictional novel about institutional abuse, racial division, courage, accountability, and the power young people discover when they refuse to stand alone.
