description: Inside the halls of ILLC an institution for juveniles with disabilities we discover a place that is deeply different from and yet remarkably the same as the world outside. Nussbaum crafts a multifaceted portrait of a way of life hidden from most of us. In this isolated place on Chicago's South Side friendships are forged trust is built and love affairs begin. It's in these alliances that the residents of this neglected community ultimately find the strength to bond together resist their mistreatment and finally fight back. And in the process each is transformed.
