But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser."

The author, Anthony Burgess has written, "I imagined an experimental institution in which a generic young delinquent, guilty of every crime from rape to murder, was given aversion therapy and rendered incapable of contemplating, let alone perpetrating, an antisocial act without a sensation of profound nausea... A chemical substance injected into his blood induces nausea while he is watching the films."
Social Conversion
Reserved for disharmonious Villagers who have overstepped their bounds into
unmutuality, the ultrasonic Social Conversion procedure was developed by
formerly disharmonious Number 86 to quickly and efficiently modify the
antisocial behavior of Unmutuals to conform to our normal standards of
social operation, allowing them to become peaceful, cooperative members of
the Village.
