Acres of Skin sheds light on a dark episode in American medical history. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, inmates at Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison, were used, in exchange for a few dollars, as guinea pigs in a host of medical experiments. Drawing on in-depth interviews with prisoners, doctors and prison officials, Allen M. Hornblum paints a harrowing portrait of medical abuse, moral indifference and stark greed. He raises provocative questions about human rights, prison treatment, and medical and research ethics.
