Misdirected

"Seven years ago, in 2020, Tennessee became the last state to repeal the death penalty." Logan Conroy is a criminal who was convicted of the wrong crime. In an overpopulated world where crime and disease are rampant, the people have chosen to put criminals to good use. "Murderes, for instance, were sent to the Trials Institution, where they would be used as subjects to test different drugs." What happens when a drug that was meant to kill Logan, cures him instead? And what is the actual crime Logan committed?
