Interview With A Torturer. Except from a memoir by a Killing Fields survivor who now is a documentary filmmaker and interviews former Khmer Rouge torturers. The title is slightly misleading; the interview is about half of the content here, with the rest being more of a direct memoir of the Khmer Rouge takeover. All of the trigger warnings on this. Powerful thoughts on the dangers that come with calls for revolution as well as torture and killing.

Their goals are integrating the individuals in society as much as possible and working with them to prevent offending again. Difficult read, but very good if you're up for tackling the subject matter.
