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, 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 expose 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 is a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth about capital punishment and what goes on in our prison system.
