This week we’re reviewing Madness: The Torturing of Mentally Ill Prisoners by Eyal Press published by the New Yorker. It’s just shy of eight thousand words long and should take about a half hour to read.
Press’s story picks up at the Dade Correctional Institute, a Miami correctional facility. She tells us how psychological technician Harriet Krzykowski began work at Dade’s Transitional Care Unit, the mental health ward, and quickly noticed that there was much amiss at the jail.
