Behind the Gates of Gomorrah by Stephen Seager
A true insider's account delivers an eye-opening look into America's largest state-run forensic hospital.
"What happens when the judicial system concentrates a population of criminally insane men with nothing to lose and no compunction against murderous violence behind razor wire and steel doors? DrSeager reveals both the courage and the empathy demanded of the staff at this hospital without healing, prison without guards." -- Judy Melinek, M.D. and T.J. Mitchell, authors of "Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner"
“[A] real-life account that progresses like a suspense novel….It may be impossible to fathom how the staff continues working in such an environment without experiencing it personally, but BEHIND THE GATES OF GOMORRAH may well provide the next best option.” * ShelfAwareness *
