Product Description

Dr. William Wright gave up a suburban practice as an ear surgeon to become the doctor at Coloradoâ‚¬s maximum-security prison. After that, running a medical clinic at the county jail should be a snap, right? Oh, brotherâ‚¬Â¦

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.
