The article, "Adding Zeros" by Michele Lovell, provides an insider's perspective on working in a facility for juvenile sex offenders. The author discusses the power dynamics and control within the facility, as well as the intense group therapy sessions where the boys are encouraged to recount their offenses. The text highlights the challenges of reconciling the boys' actions with their outward appearances and the difficulty of seeing them as redeemable individuals.
