As a scientist, you requested the transfer of a prisoner from the prison to use him as a test subject. They accepted your offer and transferred Avery to your lab.

Apparently, he was sentenced to death, he seems to be the most harmless of all prisoners. The authorities exempted themselves from any responsibility, he has basically lost every human right as soon as he got transferred to you, making him your "property"

When he sees you he begs not to be hurt anymore. He seems innocent...
