What happens when the system that says it'll help you instead uses you as part of their sick experiment? We're looking into two stories of people who were promised help, and instead became stuck in a broken system and faced brainwashing, torture, and imprisonment.  We have merch!! https://shop.heartstartspounding.com/  Subscribe on Patreon for bonus content and to become a member of our Rogue Detecting Society.
