Today we call it Roosevelt Island. Then, it was Blackwell's, site of a lunatic asylum, two prisons, an almshouse, and a number of hospitals. Conceived as the most modern, humane incarceration facility the world had ever seen, Blackwell's Island quickly became, in the words of a visiting Charles Dickens, 'a lounging, listless madhouse.' In the first contemporary investigative account of Blackwell's, Stacy Horn tells this chilling narrative through the gripping voices of the island's inhabitants, as well as the period's officials, reformers, and journalists, including the celebrated Nellie Bly. Digging through city records, newspaper articles, and archival reports, Horn brings this forgotten history alive: there was terrible overcrowding; prisoners were enlisted to care for the insane; punishment was harsh and unfair; and treatment was nonexistent. Throughout the book, we return to the extraordinary Reverend William Glenney French as he ministers to Blackwell's residents, battles the bureaucratic mazes of the Department of Correction and a corrupt City Hall, testifies at salacious trials, and in his diary wonders about man's inhumanity to man. In Damnation Island, Stacy Horn shows us how far we've come in caring for the least fortunate among us--and reminds us how much work still remains."--Dust jacket.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2409200</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2409200</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Horn, Stacy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2409200164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poor, Sick, Mad &amp; Criminal in 19th-century New York</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781616205768/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Killing Fields of East New York]]></title><description><![CDATA[A compulsively readable hybrid of true crime and investigative journalism, The Killing Fields of East New York reveals how white-collar crime reduced a prospering neighborhood to abandoned buildings and empty lots. Following the dual threads of the hunt for the network of criminals behind the first subprime mortgage scandal and the ensuing downfall of East New York, Stacy Horn weaves a compelling narrative of government failure, a desperate community, and ultimately the largest series of mortgage fraud prosecutions in American history. The Killing Fields of East New York deftly demonstrates how different types of crime are profoundly entangled, and how the crimes committed in nice suits and corner offices are just as destructive as those committed on the street.-- Publisher description]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2680639</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2680639</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Horn, Stacy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2680639164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, A White-collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of An American Neighborhood</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781638931225/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lone Star State of Mind]]></title><description><![CDATA[With a couple of grand in the bank and a dream in their heart, Earl and Baby plan their escape from their hometown in Bennett, Texas.
