Produktinformationen zu „Lockdown “
Dr Varella gives an account of the years he spent treating inmates in the Casa de Detencao, Brazil's largest and harshest prison, from 1989 to 2001. In 1989, at the height of the AIDS epidemic, only a handful of doctors were available to treat an inmate population of more than 7000, so Varella volunteered his time. He was overwhelmed by the humanity and freedom of spirit shown by the men, despite their terrible crimes and inhuman conditions.
