Inhaltsangabe
Twenty-nine-year-old Salvadoran Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is imprisoned in a notorious high-security prison in El Salvador. Although he has never been convicted of a crime, he was detained and questioned for loitering, a centuries-old law, ruled unconstitutional, and yet still haunting folks who linger in public.
Loitering.
Although the signs for Whites Only drinking fountains and restrooms are gone, loitering signs remain a reminder that United States citizens live in a society of classes. Folks in the lower classes who travel in public are at the mercy of law enforcement—just for standing out or, as one civil rights activist alleges, just for being.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Calvin Hight Allen, a native of Rocky Mount, N.C., attended Davidson College. Earning full academic credit, he enlisted in the World Campus Afloat for an around-the-globe study tour on a merchant marine vessel that docked at many fascinating ports. "It was life-changing. I started as an eastern NC redneck and returned as a world citizen." Finishing Davidson with a BA in English, he earned an MA from UNC-Chapel Hill and took various positions in teaching and writing, including a stint as a reporter for the Charlotte Observer. After 13 years as a "head hunter" for managers of heavy construction jobs, he retired in 2011 and currently lives at Givens Highland Farms in Black Mountain, N.C. As an author, he has written about characters with roots in North Carolina.
