“Book Descriptions: Commonwealth Writers' Prize and Orange Prize winner Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has drawn favorable comparisons to Chinua Achebe. Culled from her critically acclaimed collection The Thing Around Your Neck, "Cell One" is a powerful tale set against a backdrop of Nigerian corruption.
When a rash of gang violence on a university campus leads to a shooting, a young man named Nnamabia is jailed for possible involvement. Visited daily by his parents and younger sister, Nnamabia nevertheless begins a steady decline. More than anything, he fears being taken to Cell One, where unruly prisoners are sometimes beaten to death by police.”
