About the Book

I had a close friend of the family, who while I was struggling through the tumultuos year of third year of medical school told me that I would end up working in jail if I became a psychiatrist. One of her sons had gone to a fairly prestigious medical school and was not a psychiatrist.
 
Little did she know, she would be right, and I would work in an environment where I would see some of the most ill individuals in the county. Jails and Prisons have by default now become mental insitutions, where per capita the highest percentage of the mentally ill are now housed.
 
It helps that I am black and young black males make up a signfigant history of those incarcerated. There are actuaaly more college age black males in our criminal justice system than in college.
