Jailhouse Doc

Book Description

Dr. William Wright gave up a suburban practice as an ear surgeon to become the doctor at Colorado’s maximum-security prison. After that, running a medical clinic at the county jail should be a snap, right? Oh, brother…

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.

Hello Doctor Wright,

I was in contact with you a number of years ago at which time I told you that I was in the process of writing a book. At that time, I had read your book, Maximum Insecurity. The book is now almost finished—and has been accepted for publication. The book, “Prisons, the Good, the Bad, the Mad and the Sad”.

As mentioned, it is more or less a trawl through my life in corrections, beginning at The Californian Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo in 1962 (base grade Correction Officer) and culminating in 1996 as Commissioner of Corrections in Victoria, Australia. (Many positions in between)

I would love to have a chat to you via phone. If this is agreeable and possible please provide me a day/time and phone number that I might use to contact, you.
