[UA] The prison for a bibliomancer

This is a building where our deeply-troubled public school system once
> stored its supplies, and then one day apparently walked away from it all,
> allowing everything to go to waste. The interior has been ravaged by fires
> and the supplies that haven't burned have been subjected to 20 years of
> Michigan weather. To walk around this building transcends the sort of
> typical ruin-fetishism and "sadness" some get from a beautiful abandoned
> building. This city's school district is so impoverished that students are
> not allowed to take their textbooks home to do homework, and many of its
> administrators are so corrupt that every few months the newspapers have a
> field day with their scandals, sweetheart-deals, and expensive trips made at
> the expense of a population of children who can no longer rely on a public
> education to help lift them from the cycle of violence and poverty that has
> made Detroit the most dangerous city in America. To walk through this ruin,
> more than any other, I think, is to obliquely experience the real tragedy of
> this city; not some sentimental tragedy of brick and plaster, but one of
> people:
