Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when a system reduces you to a number?This is a true memoir of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and surviving ICE detention, private prison facilities, and the slow psychological erosion that follows.From Russia to Mexico.Through Tijuana.Across the border.What began as a desperate search for freedom became a confrontation with identity itself.Inside detention, you are not a name.You are not a story.You are not a person.You are a number. A case. A function.But confinement is not only made of steel and concrete.The deeper prison is psychological - built through control, dependency, fear, and isolation.In this raw and unfiltered account, the author reveals: - what daily life inside ICE detention actually looks like- how private prison systems enforce compliance- the emotional cost of exile- how love can both preserve and dissolve identity- and how a human being can survive institutional dehumanizationThis book is for readers of powerful immigration memoirs, true survival stories, and psychological nonfiction.Some prisons have bars.Others are built inside us.Escaping both requires courage.
