Execution by Alexander Gordon Smith

I am going to start reading the 5th and final book of a series I have been reading. It has been awile since I read the 4th book but i hope to quickly ferfresh my mind. This 5th book is called Execution by Alexander Gordon Smith. The first book is called lock down. Alex, a 15 year old boy who does not have the greatest life decides to break into a house. Men in black suits, with masks on, come to the house and are described as "Monsters of Men". They shoot his friend toby directly in the head and tell Alex to run. Alex runs away and goes home but the police are already there blaming him for toby's killing. Alex goes to court and is chosen guilty for the murder. The men in black are in the court house with Alex. When Alex walks by another court room he sees another boy about his age arguing with the judge. The same men, exatly the same body build sitting in the court room. Alex is sent to Furnace, a penetentiary that no boy has ever lived to his 18th birthday. not as a human they dont at least. the boys are being turned into something unimaginable. Keep reading to see what happens in book 5 after Alex has tried to escape twice and is now in his 3rd try and is out still running from the warden's beast. Alex is one of the only to be turned into one of these beast yet still have his own mind.
