Holmesburg Prison has a bleak history but one of its lowest points is its facilitation of horrific medical tests carried out primarily on Black inmates. It's really worth learning about, so I talked to the author of Skin Theory, a recent book about the subject, on my newest podcast. Check it out here: https://anchor.fm/abandonedamerica/episodes/The-Skin-Experiments-at-Holmesburg-Prison-e1sao5q
The Skin Experiments at Holmesburg Prison by Abandoned America
In this episode we talk with Dr. Cristina Visperas about her new book "Skin Theory: Visual Culture and the Postwar Prison Laboratory", which explores the shocking past of the now-abandoned Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia. For decades Dr. Albert Kligman conducted unethical and harrowing medical experiments on Holmesburg's inmates - in this episode we explore what those experiments were, how they formed the basis of the modern dermatology industry, and what happened in their aftermath.
