She felt their eyes, all those executioners…

Loretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker are the stars of Chain-Gang All-Stars, the cornerstone of CAPE, or Criminal Action Penal Entertainment, a highly popular, highly controversial profit-making program in America’s increasingly dominant private prison industry. It’s the return of the gladiators, as prisoners compete for the ultimate prize: their freedom.

In CAPE, prisoners travel as Links in Chain-Gangs, battling it out in death matches before packed arenas with righteous protesters at the gates. Thurwar and Staxxx, both teammates and lovers, are fan favorites. And if all goes well, Thurwar will be free in a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her deadly hammer. As she prepares to leave her fellow Links, Thurwar ponders how she can help preserve their humanity in the face of these so-called games. But the corporate owners of CAPE will stop at nothing to protect their status quo, and the obstacles they place in Thurwar’s path have devastating consequences.

From the Lefties to the protesters, the CAPE workers, and more, Chain-Gang All-Stars is a kaleidoscopic, scathing look at the unholy alliance of systemic racism, unchecked capitalism, and mass incarceration in America’s prison system. It’s a sober reckoning with what freedom really means in this country, from a “new and necessary American voice” (Tommy Orange, The New York Times Book Review).
