Wayward School
Thomas Gondolfi
After a media blitz that surpassed the Rodney King riots, the Patty Hearst trial and the acquittal of OJ Simpson combined, Elizabeth sits on Alcatraz’ high-tech, death row awaiting execution at the age of thirty. A Catholic priest convinces Elizabeth to tell her story as a warning to other young women who might find themselves in similar circumstances.Elizabeth shares how as a teen she is barely tolerated in an abusive family. When the private shame of her rape becomes an unwanted pregnancy, her father coldly sends her away to a school for wayward girls. At the School Elizabeth trades her naivete for a home and family of sorts. Out of her unique position and her nightmarish start to adulthood Elizabeth goes on to save tens of thousands of lives, for which a jury of her peers condemns her to die.
