After a deployment in the Iraq War dually defined by threat and interminable mundanity, Joseph Thomas is fighting to find his footing. Now a doctoral student at The University, and an EMS worker at the hospital in North Philly, he encounters round the clock friends and family from his past life and would-be future at his job, including contemporaries of his estranged father, a man he knows little about, serving time at Holmesburg prison for the statutory rape of his then-teenage mother. Meanwhile, he and his best friend Ray, a fellow vet, are alternatingly bonding over and struggling with their shared experience and return to civilian life, locked in their own rhythms of lust, heartbreak, and responsibility. Balancing the joys and frustrations of single fatherhood, his studies, and ceaseless shifts at the hospital as he becomes closer than he ever imagined to his father, Joseph tries to articulate vernacular understandings of the sociopolitical struggles he recounts as participant-observer at home, against the assumptions of his friends and colleagues. GOD BLESS YOU, OTIS SPUNKMEYER is a powerful examination of every day black life—of health and sex, race and punishment, and the gaps between our desires and our politics Joseph Earl Thomas is the author of Sink, a memoir, longlisted for the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award, and shortlisted for the Patrick Saroyan International Writing Prize; the novel God Bless You, Otis Spunkmeyer, longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Literary Excellence, winner of the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize; and the forthcoming story collection Leviathan Beach. His prose and poetry has been published or is forthcoming in The Kenyon Review, The Paris Review, Harper's, Virginia Quarterly Review, Vanity Fair, The Yale Review, The Massachusetts Review, and Dilettante Army.

That little bottle of retinol serum sitting on your bathroom counter - what do you know about its history? This week, we're digging deep into the man behind the medicine, renowned dermatologist Dr. Albert Kligman, and the unethical research he conducted at Holmesburg Prison in the mid-20th century. Kligman's research program at Holmesburg spanned decades, involved dozens of experiments (including tretinoin) and thousands of individuals, received ample funding from public universities and many pharmaceutical companies, and was generally praised until it all came crashing down in the early 1970s. But, as we'll discover, the unethical behavior persisted even after the program's closure as Kligman fought to get tretinoin to market. The murky history of retinoids might be a bit too long to include on the label, but this episode forces us to consider the human cost of a household product and the importance of acknowledging that history.

Humanity's journey to understanding the body has been a gory one, littered with unethical experiments, unintended consequences and unimaginable endurance. In The Human Subject, Dr Adam Rutherford and Dr Julia Shaw investigate the threads connecting modern day medicine to its often brutal origins. With every episode they explore some of that dark history and ask - is our present day knowledge worth the suffering it took to get us here?The year is 1964 and 20 year old Edward Anthony is being checked into Philadelphia's Holmesburg prison, also known as ‘The Terrordome', about to serve a 23-month sentence for dealing marijuana.Only two weeks into being at the prison he agrees to the first of many medical experiments run by Dr Albert Kligman and the University of Pennsylvania dermatology department. This first experiment, a 'bubble bath test', leaves him feeling like his back is on fire. To his cellmates he yells, ‘It's killing me'. This is the story of Edward and hundreds of other prisoners who were exploited in this Philadelphia prison. in the pursuit of knowledge and for financial gain.Presenters: Dr Adam Rutherford and Dr Julia Shaw Series Producer: Simona Rata Assistant Producer: Mansi Vithlani Executive Producer: Jo Meek Sound Design: Craig Edmondson Commissioner: Dan ClarkeAn Audio Always production for BBC Radio 4

LBG Chris Army is back to talk about Brigadier General John Gibbon of the II Corps, Army of the Potomac.  From Gettysburg Daily: "John Gibbon was born in the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the fourth of ten children born to Dr. John Heysham Gibbon and Catharine Lardner Gibbon. When Gibbon was 11 years old the family moved near Charlotte, North Carolina, because Dr. Gibbon took a position as chief assayer at the U.S. Mint. John Gibbon graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1847 and was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the 3rd U.S. Artillery. He served in the Mexican-American War without seeing combat, attempted to keep the peace between Seminoles and settlers in south Florida. In 1855, Gibbon married Francis “Fannie” North Moale. They had four children: Frances Moale Gibbon, Catharine “Katy” Lardner Gibbon, John Gibbon, Jr. (who died as a toddler) and John S. Gibbon. Lieutenant John Gibbon taught artillery tactics at West Point where he wrote The Artillerist's Manual in 1859. The manual was used by both sides in the Civil War."

In this episode we talk with Dr. Cristina Visperas about her new book "Skin Theory: Visual Culture and the Postwar Prison Laboratory", which explores the shocking past of the now-abandoned Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia. For decades Dr. Albert Kligman conducted unethical and harrowing medical experiments on Holmesburg's inmates - in this episode we explore what those experiments were, how they formed the basis of the modern dermatology industry, and what happened in their aftermath. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abandonedamerica/support

Skin, it's what covers your bones and what you rub creams on to see how many blisters you can raise. If you don't rub poisons onto your skin to observe the after effects, you can thank one Dr. Kligman for doing the research for you.  Dr. Kligman discovered that prisoners have skin and that they were willing to sign up for experiments so he got them to sign a bunch of papers that they didn't understand and then he got busy.  For 20 years, starting in the 1950s and ending in 1973, Kligman injected the inmates of Holmesburg prison with poisons, had them rub cancer causing agents onto their skin, and charted the results.  He also sewed human organ tissues into their bodies to see what would happen - maybe the organs would regrow!  Maybe prison could become a farm for regeneration of human tissues and organs! Dr. Kligman became a world famous dermatologist (there is one of a world famous anything and Kligman is it for skin doctors).  He discovered Retin-A (retinol) and every morning people across the world rub away their wrinkles and acne thanks to the work of Dr. Kligman - the hero of skin. But the city of Philadelphia doesn't think he's such a hero and issued an apology in October of 2022 for giving sanction to the work of an unethical dermatologist.

NYC artist Ross Lewis discusses his terrazzo floor painting, "Deep Water", located at the Holmesburg Recreation Center in Philadelphia.  Visitors to the Holmesburg Recreation Center trace the local topography and history in the abstract shapes of the terrazzo floor painting, Deep Water. The work represents for the artist the life which grew up around the Pennypack Creek and man's relationship to nature. A natural fall line, made Pennypack a tidal creek, giving early Holmesburg settlers a particular advantage for their water-power run saw mills and grist mills. The names of some of the early mills are included in the floor painting along with those of key streets such as Welsh Road, originally built by Welsh farmers to bring grain to the grist-mills back in the 1600's. Frankford Avenue, a north-south route retraces a route which is at least a thousand years old used by the Native American People. Other names in the painting of particular mention are the Crispin School, which stood on the current site of the Recreation Center, the Harrisburg Colored Settlement, one of the earliest black settlements in the area dating back to the 1720's and the King's Highway Bridge, the oldest stone bridge of its kind in the nation built in 1697.

In this episode, Nwayieze and Dani discuss the pathologizing of Black experiences and Black bodies by looking at the history of the Holmesburg Prison experiments. For more than twenty years, the Philadelphia county jail was the site of a myriad of human experiments performed on unknowing inmates. Author Allen Hornblum joins the hosts to discuss what he saw while he worked at Holmesburg and Adrianne Jones-Alston shares the story of her father, Leodus Jones, who was briefly incarcerated at Holmesburg and participated in these experiments. How did the University of Pennsylvania Medical School allow this to happen and why has there not been any REAL justice for those whose lives were forever altered by what happened? MUSIC“Faster Bassier” (theme song) by DJ Fatha Julz“Dreary Boots” by DJ Fatha Julz“Releasing the Sculpture” by Podington Bear // From Free Music Archive // CC BY NC“The Gall” by Podington Bear // From Free Music Archive // CC BY NC  “Moodswing” by Podington Bear // From Free Music Archive // CC BY NC“The Confrontation” by Podington Bear // From Free Music Archive // CC BY NC“Refraction” by Podington Bear // From Free Music Archive // CC BY NC

20-year-old man was shot and killed on the grounds of the Curran-Fromhold Correction Facility in the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia less than an hour after being released from the prison, police said. The victim has been identified as Rodney Hargrove of Philadelphia. Philadelphia Department of Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney said Hargrove was shot and killed while his family was on the way to pick him up. Hargrove was released at 1:10 a.m. Thursday after posting bail. Prison personnel transported him across the street to the SEPTA bus stop, which is the official drop-off point, where he awaited his family. SEE ALSO: Family speaks out after 20-year-old man was killed outside Philly prison Approximately 47 minutes later, Carney said a car began to chase Hargrove at the drop-off point and he ran back onto prison grounds. Hargrove ran past the entrance gate where a guard is usually posted and the vehicle followed. Carney said the arm to the gate was in a raised position, which allowed the vehicle to enter. "(The arm is) raised by the correctional officer assigned to that post. And, for whatever reason, the officer raised it, and at the time of the pursuit, the vehicle was able to proceed through that raised arm," Carney said. The prison commissioner said they're investigating whether a guard was actually at the gate at the time and why the arm was raised. Hargrove was then shot and killed feet from the gate near a shed on prison grounds. When police and medics arrived on location, they found the 20-year-old man lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso, chest, and arms, according to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. Small said, based on ballistic evidence, at least 10 shots were fired from a semi-automatic weapon. Authorities found most of the shell casings near the victim's body which, Small said, indicated the shooter or shooters were in close proximity to Hargrove at the time of the shooting. Prison guards described a dark colored vehicle seen speeding from the property after hearing gunshots. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/oss2389/support

But at their worst, they can be the bearer of doom, violence and death. The cases on this list pits humans against one another all in the name of sciene and cruelty. These are the Top 5 Most Disturbing Experiments Ever Conducted. 5. Artificial Blood Transfusions Artificial blood, at first glance seems like a good idea. For One, it has no expiration date and can be kept for a long time without spoiling unlike human blood. Second, artificial blood also doesn’t require any sterilization since it already undergoes that process during the manufacturing. Third, it can be used by any person of any blood type, 4. Milgram Experiment 3. Dr. Lauretta Bender It’s already shocking to hear of inhumane experiments conducted on adults but when they’re done on children, they take on another form of sinister. But that’s exactly what Dr. Lauretta Bender, a once respected child neuropsychiatrist, from Bellevue Hospital did between 1940 and1953. 2. Holmesburg Prison Skin Experiments When dermatologist, Dr. Albert Kligman, first entered Holmesburg Prison in Pennsylvania, he famously remarked that “all he saw before him were acres of skin.” The hundreds of possible test subjects – all potentials for experimental research. The testing in Holmesburg first came to light in an expose published in The Philadelphia Inquirer on January 11, 1981, decades after the experiments were conducted. This report detailed Dioxin Testing done on several sets of prisoners. 1. Unit 731 World War II was a brutal time. It revealed how far mankind would stoop to crush down their viewed enemies. One of the major players in the war, and among the most brutal, was the Imperial Japanese Army.
