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.

EPISODE #78 I've spent years of my life researching and investigating the alleged happenings in Montauk. I created several documentaries & TV programs on the subject. I talked with dozens of people who claimed they were either victims or engineers of underground atrocities -Beatings, drugs, mind manipulation and murder…There's no escaping this story until it's proven to be true. There's too much evidence to support that there was a mind control experiment in sub levels of the Camp Hero Air Force station.For those who don't believe, you're simply lacking in knowledge. Alike programs ( such as MK Ultra and The Holmesburg Prison experiments) were already confirmed to be true. Perhaps you don't want to believe? I don't want to believe it either. I wish it was all a bad dream but unfortunately it isn't.Many people approach me with their “Montauk” stories and every now and then I find something authentic about them.Join me (beginning Wednesday night at 8:00 pm ET) for an interview with Chris Laterreur. Chris claims to have been a subject of both the psychic research experiments as well as a victim of their brutality.You don't want to miss this one.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight@highlight#offtothewitch #christophergaretano #podcast #horror #montaukproject #mystery #unsolvedmysteries #montauk #montaukchronicles #conspiracy

Happy Thursday, Besties and Happy Almost Thanksgiving!! Life has been a little crazy these last few weeks and we have officially started the holiday pre-recording process, so we found it very important that we have a thorough catch up session and confess what we are the CEOs of this week! Head over to our instagram (@creepsandcrimespodcast) to make your CEO confessions for the week before we get creepy with you!Morgan starts us off with the terrifying "conspiracy theory turned true" case of the Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia. After an athlete's foot breakout shook the prison, officials went searching for help to treat the outbreak and got into contact with Dr. Albert Kligman, a University of Pennsylvania professor of dermatology and the man credited with co-inventing Retin-A. No one knew what horrors would follow, when a simple "partnership" with the doctor turned the prison into a full blown experiment with the "acres of skin" he saw there. Of course he couldn't have done this alone, so Johnson & Johnson, Dow Chemicals, and the US Department of Defense had to join in on the "fun" (what's up Geneva?). Even after years of these horrific experiments coming to light, no one has been truly held accountable. Taylar then covers the case of "D.B. Tuber" or the 2008 Monroe, WA Bank of America Heist that shook this small and safe town to its core. Though this is a solved case, it is one of the most interesting and wild investigations of all time! Every single detail of this crime was thought out and deliberately executed in the most "perfect crime" sort of way, however these masterminds did not account for the superpowers of Allen Dean, a local unhoused man that changed the lives of so many!!

An abolitionist approach to STS and the history of the life sciences: this is the model that Cristina Mejia Visperas offers in her book, Skin Theory: Visual Culture and the Postwar Prison Laboratory (NYU 2022). By now, scientists' experiments on captive men at Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison are well known, thanks to the brave and important testimony of former captive-subjects in books like Allen Hornblum's Acres of Skin. Building on this documentary work, Visperas turns attention to the prison experiments' “optical rationality,” the way of seeing images that came out of a space that was simultaneously prison and laboratory. For Visperas, skin is a scientific apparatus and a metaphor for what science makes visible—and what it leaves as a void, namely, the endurance of anti-Black racism in the US, from slavery to mass incarceration. At its core, the book asks “What is the relationship between science and the project of freedom?”—and it hopes towards a reparative bioethics that dismantles scientific racism and the prison nation that it upholds. This interview was a collaborative effort among Professor Laura Stark and graduate students at Vanderbilt University in the seminar “Critical Bioethics.” Please email Laura with any feedback on the interview or questions about how to design collaborative interview projects for the classroom.

In May of 1976, 24-year-old Carol Menaker served with eleven others on a jury in the trial of Freddy Burton, a young Black prison inmate charged with the grisly murders of two white wardens inside Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison. After being sequestered for 21 days, the jury voted in three hours to convict Mr. Burton. Menaker returned to her home and her life. Freddy Burton remains in prison today, serving a life term without parole.For more than forty years, Menaker tried to put this experience  behind her. But the arrival of a jury summons at her Nevada City home in 2017 set her on a path to unravel the question: What ever happened to Freddy Burton—and is it possible that my youth and white privilege were what led me to convict him of murder?Now she has written her account of journeying back in time to uncover the biases that may have led her to judge someone in whose shoes she never could have walked.Joyce Miller interviews Menaker about “The Worst Thing We've Ever Done: One Juror's Reckoning With Racial Injustice,” which will be published April 11.

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

Allen M. Hornblum is a Philadelphia based author who tackles controversial, historically under-covered topics in the areas of organized crime, Soviet espionage, and medical ethics. Prior to becoming an author, Hornblum had a varied career that included political organizing, college teaching, and many years in various facets of the criminal justice system. He has served in the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office, Philadelphia Prison System, and the Pennsylvania Crime Commission. Allen joins me to talk about his book "Acres of Skin: Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison" the book documents clinical non-therapeutic medical experiments on prison inmates at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia from 1951 to 1974, conducted under the direction of dermatologist Albert Kligman. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support

In this episode, we discuss the Holmesburg Prison Experiments that recently made headlines again when the city of Philadelphia issued an apology for the atrocities the former inmates endured in the name of science. Should the families of these inmates be compensated by the companies that benefited from the experiments? What are the possible long-term effects of these experiments?

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.

The city's ban on gun at rec centers and playgrounds is blocked by a judge. Also, the apology for the Holmesburg Prison experiments. And, time management guru Laura Vanderkam.

Welcome to our third installment of The Prison Series! In our last installment of this series covering the dark history of prisons, Patrick talked to us about Eastern State Penn in Philadelphia. Well little did Patrick know…Eastern State Penn has an evil little sister called Holmesburg Prison. This Philadelphia prison has a VERY dark and sinister past riddled with human experimentation and unspeakable torture. In fact, if you were to listen to this episode without context, you would think this mayhem occurred in Nazi Germany during WW2. So today we will be talking about decades worth of human experimentation and unfathomable torture that occurred within the walls of Holmesburg Prison. Join us and make sure to let us know your thoughts on the insanity that occurred right under our noses.

For the last 50 years, the quaint, coastal village of Montauk has been haunted by a dark legend. Whispers carry through the town of secret military projects, bizarre creatures, portals to other times, and still stranger things. On this episode of Belief Hole, join us as we explore government mind control and psychic experiments, hidden underground facilities and time travel technology, and endeavor to unravel fact from fiction within the extreme and controversial claims of the Montauk Project.

On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we talk about a wicked case of human test subjects known as the Holmesburg Prison Experiments. This small prison in Philadelphia became home to a very unethical doctor named Albert Kligman. He was brought there to investigate a break-out of athletes foot among the inmates, but what he saw was “acres of skin.” The hundreds of humans were the ultimate petri dish for Kligman, and he began to experiment. The shocking thing is that he had the support of the University of Pennsylvania, the prison system, the courts, and companies like Dow and Johnson and Johnson. What did he test? He started by testing shampoos and soaps on prisoner skin. He ended up dosing them with dioxin, wrecking them with radiation, and nuking them in microwave ovens. What brought this to a stop? What is Kligman's reputation like now? Did any prisoners get justice? Listen, laugh, learn.   Visit Our Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmesburg_Prison https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/black-prison-inmates-experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Kligman https://www.med.upenn.edu/evpdeancommunications/2021-08-20-283.html

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

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.

MURDER STORY There are schools, and there are schools. Some are highly respected by society. They offer book learning, a competitive grading system, and a fast track to the top of the social ladder. Some of these schools  have have higher prestige, status, and celebrity than others. A diploma or degree  from one of these institutions can open many doors that lead to respect, social acceptance, and wealth. The street can also serve as a school. So can a prison. Your education in these hard knuckle schools will not earn you society’s blessings or certificates that open doors. But they can definitley give you a priceless education. They can teach you survival and a profound understanding of human psychology,  They can unleash creativity. They can cultivate compassion; They can offer you hard won lessons of  great wisdom. These schools can destroy you. If they don’t, they can forge integrity and strength of character and prepare you to enrich the world with your unique brand of authenticity and contribution. Will Latif Little forged his character and special gifts on the streets of Philadelphia and in Holmesburg Prison, a terrifying penitentiary known as the Terradome to its inmates. Will Little served ten years in the Terradome for murder. His own tagline describes him as a man who went from convicted murderer to committed life coach. Here are some of his accolades: He leaves people forever changed. No one forgets Will Little. He’s a category of one. Those words do not express unearned praise. Will played a high stakes game to win them. It was a life and death game. Will emerged from prison, a wise, loving, intuitive, and compassionate person with a gift for healing others. He heals damaged and disturbed psyches; he heals souls. He is an author, speaker, and mentor to troubled youth.

This week on BEHIND THE LENS writer/director BRIAN CAVALLARO is on hand talking about the making of AGAINST THE NIGHT. Night shoots and lensing inside the decaying and decrepit (and haunted - shhh!) Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia using flashlights as the filming light source are just some of the challenges Brian talks about embracing and overcoming in order to bring this story to life. And for a bonus, Brian gives some tips and recommendations on working with the local film commission. Plus, hear what writer/director ROGER MICHELL had to say in his exclusive interview with film critic debbie elias on his adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's MY COUSIN RACHEL. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Mr. Allen M. Hornblum and Mr. Edward "Butch" Anthony. Mr. Hornblum is a White man whose research and policy interests focus on the exploited and leveling the political and economic playing field. His passion for revealing social inequities and instances of outright abuse resulted in his leaving his position in the Sheriff's Office to research and chronicle the history of the Holmesburg Prison medical experiments, which he had personally witnessed earlier in his career. Acres of Skin, Allen's groundbreaking investigation of this heinous chapter in American medical history - and the complicity of many penal systems across the country - has now become the classic work on the subject and a recipient of considerable media attention. We'll discuss his 2007 follow-up text, Sentenced To Science: One Black Man's Story Of Imprisonment In America. This text provides intimate details on the life and White Terrorism that Mr. Edward "Butch" Anthony was subjected. Anthony is a black male, former drug addict, convict and subject in numerous prison experiments. We'll hear details on how he and other black males were exploited by White scientists and how homosexual behavior was promoted by these sadistic "studies."
