The Mental Health Ward at Dade Correctional Institution
The people i write about in the book are part of this system. They do dirty hands, and they are responsible, to some extent, for what's going on. On the other hand, they're powerless, relatively speaking. And they also suffer for what happens. I'm particularly haunted by a conversation i had with a woman named lavita richardson who worked at dade. She thought she could help people who society had considered, you know, beyond the pale throwaways.
