Acres of Skin: Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison Paperback - 1999 - 1st Edition
by Allen M. Hornblum
From the mid-1950s through the mid-1970s, inmates of Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison were used, in exchange for a few dollars, as guinea pigs in a host of medical experiments. Hornblum paints a disturbing portrait of abuse, moral indifference, and greed, as doctors, in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania and prison officials, established the prison as a testing lab.
First line
They marched six of us, three blacks an three whites, all the same age, late twenties-early thirties, into this one room of the trailer.
