Please be advised this is a play about the prison industrial complex. There are themes of classism, racism, and prejudice, and contains onstage drug use.

In 1987, the people of Forgottonia, Illinois are on the edge of poverty. In a last-ditch effort to save their town, they enter the Prison Sweepstakes, which would win them a government-funded prison (and all the jobs that come with it). But competing for a prison drags out more than they were bargaining for.
