It's a war crime to forcibly inject young children with psych meds in order to keep them sedated. If you have concern for the children at the border, if you have concern for our soldiers, then this book should concern you and should, in my mind, freak you out a little bit and have us rethink what it is we're doing in these institutions.
What if the very institutions meant to rehabilitate are themselves hooked on drugs? In this compelling episode, Anthony Ryan Hatch takes listeners behind the bars of U.S. prisons to reveal a chilling reality: the widespread use of psychotropic drugs on inmates. Hosted by Marshall Poe, the conversation dives deep into Hatch's book, 'Silent Cells: The Secret Drugging of Captive America'. Over the past forty years, psychotropic medications have been a staple in U.S.
prisons and jails, raising urgent questions about ethics, oversight, and the power of pharmaceutical companies. Hatch doesn't just skim the surface; he exposes the intricate web linking mass incarceration, psychiatry, and the pharmaceutical industry. He scrutinizes the role of pharmacies and drug experiments within prison walls, shedding light on how these institutions can develop their own form of addiction to these substances.
The discussion is raw and unfiltered, touching on sensitive topics like the ethics of drug testing on prisoners and the challenges in collecting accurate data. Listeners are invited to ponder the broader implications of Hatch's findings. How do these practices affect the mental health and recovery of inmates? What does it say about our society's approach to incarceration and rehabilitation?
Hatch's insights are not just academic; they are a call to action for more stringent state surveillance on prison healthcare practices and greater accountability for pharmaceutical corporations. Whether you're passionate about prison reform, interested in the intersection of psychiatry and pharmaceuticals, or simply curious about the hidden aspects of the justice system, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration that will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about incarceration in America.
