About Outsource
In the mid-90s, when the death penalty was still allowed, a new employee appeared in the special purpose prison. Like his colleagues, Kostya will have to carry out death sentences. But he has a special view of justice. After meeting with the father of one of the victims, Kostya realizes that it is close people who have the right to carry out punishment. Besides, you can make good money on it. For example, they never dreamed of the kind of money that a mother offered for the murder of her daughter's rapist.
