"It's not a process," one pastor insisted, "rehabilitation is a
miracle." In the face of addiction and few state resources,
Pentecostal pastors in Guatemala City are fighting what they
understand to be a major crisis. Yet the treatment centers they
operate produce this miracle of rehabilitation through
extraordinary means: captivity. These men of faith snatch drug
users off the streets, often at the request of family members, and
then lock them up inside their centers for months, sometimes years.
Hunted is based on more than ten years of fieldwork among these
centers and the drug users that populate them. Over time, as Kevin
Lewis O'Neill engaged both those in treatment and those who
surveilled them, he grew increasingly concerned that he, too, had
become a hunter, albeit one snatching up information. This
thoughtful, intense book will reframe the arc of redemption we so
often associate with drug rehabilitation, painting instead a
seemingly endless cycle of hunt, capture, and release.
