Raises provocative questions about human rights, prison treatment, and medical and research ethics. Based on research into Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison in the 1950s and 1970s, where inmates were used as guinea pigs in medical experiments.
At a time of increased interest and renewed shock over the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, Acres of Skin sheds light on yet another dark episode of American medical history. In this disturbing expose, Allen M. Hornblum tells the story of Philadelphia''s Holmesburg Prison.
