Elkton Rules: The Little Prison That Thought It Could

By Michael Mangold

This is the working outline for my screenplay "Elkton Rules: The Little Prison That Thought It Could." I will be adding more chapters as I progress as well as fleshing out this outline as I go along. I want to make it available right now as a collaborative project. Any and all suggestions for improvement are more than welcome.

The premise behind the screenplay is that life in a federal correctional institution (FCI) like Elkton is surrealistic. Hence the cover painting by Salvador Dali. Another premise is that the federal government wants inmates to bow down to it, a religious-like attitude that I hope to portray in the movie.

If you can give me any feedback, my contact information is available on my Author's Page here at Smashwords and at Amazon.

Michael Mangold

Winding down my career as an ER physician, I went to Nicaragua in 2013 to teach medical English to the med students in Puerto Cabezas. Our plans changed when the medical director of the school could not obtain funding so I was forced to look for other sources of income in Managua first, then San Juan del Sur, our adopted home. While in SJdS I published three eBooks on Amazon: "How to Think Like a Doctor," "Cómo Pensar Como un Doctor," and "Barefoot Doctors." I wrote all three with the intention of bringing quality medical knowledge and practice to underserved areas of the world. My "mission" was cut short over the Thanksgiving weekend that year when I was mugged five times that Thursday and Friday night. The first two weren't so bad but by the fifth mugging I was left for dead. Why would any sane gringo be out after dark in a large Central American city? I was trying to find my son Ben, who (as I later found out) was being hidden by the American embassy there. Find the full story in my new book, "My Worst Thanksgiving Ever."
