Sinossi
Describes the role of America's Narcotic Farm in the drug rehabilitation and treatment of prisoners convicted of narcotics offenses over the course of its forty-year history, from 1935 to 1975, and the scandal over its drug-testing program and experiments using inmates as human guinea pigs that led to its shutdown, in a study that coincides with a PBS documentary.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. From 1935 until 1975, just about every junkie busted for dope went to The Narcotic Farm. Equal parts federal prison, treatment centre, organic farm and research laboratory, the Farm was designed to rehabilitate addicts and help researchers discover a cure for drug addiction. Although it began as a bold and ambitious public works project, the Farm was shut down forty years after it opened amid scandal over its drug-testing program, which involved experiments where inmates were being used as human guinea pigs and rewarded with heroin and cocaine for their efforts. Published to coincide with a documentary to be aired on PBS, "The Narcotic Farm" includes rare and unpublished photographs, film stills, newspaper and magazine clippings, government documents, as well as interviews, writings, and anecdotes from the prisoners, doctors and guards to trace the Farm's noble rise and tumultuous fall, revealing the compelling story of what really happened inside the prison walls. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004499440
