Beschreibung
First edition of an overview of the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, one of only a few institutions "dedicated solely to the purpose of caring for the diseased and broken bodies and minds of offenders against the law" (p. 1). Includes descriptions of medical care, daily life, and vocational training offered to the inmates, who are referred to as "psychopaths, psychotics, illiterates, feeble-minded persons, chronics of all types, amputees, men with heart disorders, and usually a few awaiting operations" (p. 8). Emphasizes the institution's commitment to security, but is intriguingly transparent about successful escape attempts in the past. Offers services such as speech and physical therapy, academics, and a "socialization program" that invites local business men and upstanding citizens in to speak with the inmates about life outside prison. Recreation and religious services are also offered. Second edition published in 1961. Single vol. (9" by 6"), pp. [2], 22, photo-illustrated, stapled in original photo-illustrated silver wrps. 8 copies on WorldCat. "Several high-profile Mafia Bosses received medical treatment at MCFP Springfield, including Joseph Bonanno of the Bonanno crime family, Vito Genovese and Vincent Gigante of the Genovese crime family and John Gotti of the Gambino crime family" (Wikipedia). Near-fine. Some finger-soiling. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 23010836
