"Excellent read!" according to Jennifer. A quick, entertaining read. Dr. Wright gives enough of the basic jail process so the layman can understand, but never bores with details or goes into needless descriptions. I work in a jail, so I know- you just can't make this stuff up! He does a great job with short narratives and never los. Interesting and entertaining! Andrew Mattocks I was a little critical of "Maximum Insecurity" for missing the mark of explaining 'day in the life' and FAQ type content. In this publication - nailed it. Very honest and informative while not losing the entertaining personality that Dr. Wright exhibits. A great read for those interested in. K. Anderson said Okay. OkayI just think I expected more. More background, more insight into the prisoners themselves. The book struck me as a bit preachy about the whole prison system. It was however a very quick read and not too bad.
William Wright gave up a suburban practice as an ear surgeon to become the doctor at Colorado’s maximum-security prison. Dr. After that, running a medical clinic at the county jail should be a snap, right? Oh, brother…Hoards of desperate people fresh from the streets, homeless addicts, illegal aliens, and gangbangers all ruled by a corrupt sheriff and his concubine sidekick made the supermax look almost pastoral.Told with humor and biting wit by the best-selling author of Maximum Insecurity, Jailhouse Doc follows Dr. Wright and his struggles with scamming inmates, corporate bureaucrats, and a sheriff who wants to be a doctor.Peek behind the bars at the operations of a city jail and the daily battles to deliver medical care to a population on the edge.
