看不见的监狱：杰克·华尔菲不屈不挠的正义斗争

Lisa Moore, Jack Whalen | 2024 | ISBN: 1039007120 | English | 304 pages | ePUB | 3 MB

Riveting nonfiction from multi-award-winning author Lisa Moore, based on the shocking true story of a teenaged boy who endured abuse and solitary confinement at a reform school in Newfoundland, but survived through grit and redemptive love.

Invisible Prisons is an extraordinary, empathetic collaboration between the magnificent writer Lisa Moore, best-known for her award-winning fiction, and a man named Jack Whalen, who as a child was held for four years at a reform school for boys in St John’s, where he suffered jaw-dropping abuses and deprivations. Despite the odds stacked against him, he found love on the other side, and managed to turn his life around as a husband and father. His daughter, Brittany, vowed at a young age to become a lawyer so that she could seek justice for him. Today, that is exactly what she is doing—and Jack's case is part of a lawsuit currently before the courts.

The story has parallels with Unholy Orders by Michael Harris about the Mount Cashel orphanage, and with the many horrific stories about residential schools—all of which expose a paternalistic state causing harm and a larger society looking away. Yet two powerful qualities set this story apart. As much as it is about an abusive system preying on children, it is also a tender tale of love between Jack and his wife Glennis, who saw the good man inside a damaged person and believed in him. And it is written in a novelistic way by the great Lisa Moore, who makes vividly real every moment and character in these pages.

非同凡响的非虚构作品，基于纽芬兰一所收容所里一名少年在遭受虐待和单独监禁后仍幸存的真实故事，由多获大奖作家丽莎·摩尔撰写。 《隐形牢狱》是伟大作家丽莎·摩尔——她以获奖小说著称——与一个名叫杰克·瓦伦的人的非凡、充满同情的合作。杰克·瓦伦作为儿童曾被关押四年之久，位于圣约翰斯的一所针对男童的收容所里，他遭受了令人震惊的虐待和剥夺。尽管一切似乎对他不利，但他还是在另一边找到了爱，并且以丈夫和父亲的身份挽救了自己的生活。他的女儿布丽奇特从小就发誓要成为一名律师，以便为他寻求正义。如今，她正在为此目的而奋斗——杰克的案件正作为当前法庭上的诉讼之一。 这个故事与迈克尔·哈里斯所写的《不义秩序》关于穆特凯斯孤儿院的故事以及许多关于寄宿学校的恐怖故事有着相似之处，这些故事都揭露了一个充满父爱主义的政府导致了伤害，并且有一个更大的社会选择视而不见。然而，这个故事有两个突出的优点。尽管它讲述了饱受虐待的制度对儿童进行剥削的一面，但它也讲述了一种爱情——杰克和他的妻子格丽森之间的感人之爱，他们看到了一个受损之人身上的善良，并相信他。 而且，这一切都是由伟大的丽莎·摩尔以小说家的方式写成的。她生动地描绘了这些页面中每一个时刻和每一个角色。
