The Half-Way House
Fresh out of jail and getting on with their lives, these young men are adjusting to life where freedom is everything, and the freedom to do everything means only one thing. The long hallways and big bedrooms of the halfway house give nothing to their overactive imaginations and highly charged libidos - after all, they have been locked away and unable to get their needs satisfied for years! Calling in for some fresh meat, Jack Green takes us on an adventure through the inner workings of the halfway house with journalist Gabriel Phoenix eager for a scoop on sexual predation. Finding out it's the boys who are calling the shots, Gabriel loses his patience and is ready to leave, but one question remains, and Jack is more than happy to give him, and you, all the details he wants.
