As OVERWRITTEN begins, the bounty hunter and an armed sheriff escort Zack back to Rock Mountain Academy, six weeks after his escape. This time, Zack changes his tactics and stops overtly opposing the authoritarian program. Some kids crumble under the pressure. Others become "look-goods" who'll do anything for approval. And young Zack may be kidding himself that he can remain immune to the coercive persuasion and thought control that permeate the place. With coarse, brutal dialog and authentic source materials, book two in this nonfiction memoir series takes the reader deeper into the vortex.This book is for all audiences, and specifically for readers interested in the reform and regulation of facilities that confine and abuse teenagers under the guise of tough love. The author hopes with his writing and public advocacy to help the many teens and their families who are still under the sway of inept, unscrupulous, and grasping organizations that dupe parents and evade regulation. Zack Bonnie's mission is to raise awareness and highlight the ongoing rights violations and unethical disciplinary actions used around the world by these programs and schools, "so that no teenager will have to experience what I did."
