As an experienced physician, Paul Singh, MD, DO, PhD, was stunned by the cruelty that inmates with physical and mental conditions endured. Denials for treatment, gross incompetence, deadly neglect, reckless infliction of pain and falsified medical records — despite interventions from the courts — produced life-threatening conditions, emotional deterioration, loss of limbs, and even death.
Prisoners were on a carousel of requirements that they repeatedly fulfilled with the promise that their health care needs would be met. In a never-ending cycle, those viewed as complaining too often were put in solitary confinement as punishment, regardless of age or medical condition.
Singh covertly recorded the experiences of 15 inmates and their battle for care. His exposé reveals the shocking truth about the violations of fundamental Constitutional rights in the U.S. prison system, so egregious one might think the prisons were in countries with barbaric dictators where basic human rights do not exist.
Prison Torture in America and its Companion book, Prison Papers is a must-read for anyone who wants to know the truth about capital punishment and what goes on in our prison system.
