A Disturbing and Shocking Expose-A Passionate Cry for Reform
Prison Madness exposes the brutality and failure of today's correctional system-for all prisoners-but especially the incredible conditions Andured by those suffering from serious mental disorders.
"A passionately argued and brilliantly written wake-up call to
America about the myriad ways our penal systems brutalize our
entire culture. Dr. Kupers not only diagnoses the problem, he also
offers a set of solutions. I hope this book will be read by all
concerned citizens and voters, for it conveys truths that are
vitally important to all of us."
—James Gilligan, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard
Medical School, and author of Violence: Reflections on a
National Epidemic
