As one of just sixty-one people on the planet with hyperthymesia, 17-year-old Jhalon never forgets anything. Literally. Give him any date, and he can recite his entire day to the smallest detail.

But all he wants to do is live in the moment, be the first person in his family to graduate high school, and find the courage to ask out the girl he’s always loved.

Then, after Jhalon confesses to a murder to save his brother, he is convicted as an adult. During his abuse in prison, he figures things can’t get any worse…until the government sends him to their secret island housing the country’s harshest criminals.

Convict Island touches on the issue of the overflowing US prison system and the potential horror of what could happen if the centuries-old practice of unloading convicts on islands was reestablished.
