![]() No Way Home, written by Christy Cooper-Burnett, is a time travel story where the ability to transport individuals back to a bygone era becomes the new method of incarcerating and punishing individuals who have broken certain laws. Once a Prisoner is sentenced to a particular time in history, they’re given necessary training and items needed to allow them to assimilate and survive in the new environment. The prisoner is inoculated against prevalent diseases of that period and given money from that era to enable them to start their new life. Their preparation and understanding of the past are essential if they intend to survive their sentence. They are also cautioned not to divulge where they came from or how they got there to the community they’re inserted into. If they did, it could result in their death or being locked away as being insane. To make sure prisoners understands what might happen, a video of a previous prisoner, Sarah Good, is shown during the processing. In 1692 Sarah Good had exposed herself as a time traveler, but the people of Salem Massachusetts instead saw her as a witch and hung her and then cremated her body. |
