Jailhouse Doc: A Doctor in the County Jail
Dr. William Wright gave up a suburban practice as an ear surgeon to become the doctor at Colorado's maximum-security prison. After that, running a medical clinic at the county jail should be a snap, right? Oh, brother...Hoards of desperate people fresh from the streets, homeless addicts, illegal aliens, and gangbangers all ruled by a corrupt sheriff and his concubine sidekick made the supermax look almost pastoral.
Told with humor and biting wit by the best-selling author of Maximum Insecurity, Jailhouse Doc follows Dr. Wright and his struggles with scamming inmates, corporate bureaucrats, and a sheriff who wants to be a doctor.
Peek behind the bars at the operations of a city jail and the daily battles to deliver medical care to a population on the edge.

About the author
William Wright
4 books126 followersI was an ear surgeon in Indianapolis before burning out and trying to retire. A second career fell into my lap with a job as the physician at the Colorado State Penitentiary, the state's maximum-security prison.
The experience was weird enough for me to write a book about it, Maximum Insecurity. If you've always wondered what really goes on in a supermax prison, especially trying to practice medicine in one, check it out at http://www.WilliamWrightBooks.com.
A sequel about being the medical director at the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center (the county jail) was published 12/14. Come see it at http://www.WilliamWrightBooks.com.
Now, here's the official bio:
A resident of Colorado Springs, William “Bill” Wright, MD earned his medical degree at the University of Michigan. After working as an ear surgeon for thirty years, Bill spent eight years practicing correctional medicine with the Colorado Department of Corrections. He has published over fifty medical journal articles. Maximum Insecurity is the light-hearted adventure of Wright’s career practicing medicine in a supermax correctional facility.
A commercial artist and private pilot, Bill has three black belts and is a certified instructor of Aikido and Tae Kwan Do. He is married, with four children and six grandchildren.

Warning: this is a rant.
I thought this book would provide first-hand anecdotes about life in prison -- it did. I thought it would get into some of the moral/ethical, financial and societal issues about jails and prisons -- barely. What I was not expecting was a clearly racist and misogynistic author, and I don't use those words lightly. In fact, I try to never use them about people I don't know personally.
However, when an author, trying to come off as witty, says something like, "it's hard to tell when Hispanics turn pale, but Diego tried," it pretty much discounts the rest of what he has to say. Another gem: when a patient accuses the good doctor of raping him, Wright's response is nauseating: "I'm on Medicare. I'm a little past raping age." Whatever that means. He is then presented with a photo of the accuser and quips, "He's not that good-looking. Do you think this is the best candidate I could come up with?" Gag. Finally, the cherry on top of the rape anecdote (which he is cleared of), is stating that at his age, he guesses he should just be flattered.
My other large disappointment in this book was his generalizations that he refuses to back up with statistics or research. "Inmates are more likely to be raped if they've been convicted of a sexual offense...if they succumb, they are irrevocably marked as "punks"...much like a woman who has been the victim of rape." In your opinion? And this one: "Not all jail inmates get out via suicide." Oh, really? Thanks for that ground breaking tidbit.
I could continue, but seriously, don't read this book. I can't believe the man is a twice-published author.

Dr Wright is as candid as candid can be. Enlightening to read his perspective on the prison system along with his correctional medicine experience. He explains what lured him to correctional medicine as well as the main cause of exiting. Describing his interactions with inmates is raw yet rather compelling in a few cases. The reader will find the jailed receive thorough medical care, however, upon their release few can afford to continue with care, also many deal with addiction, lack of a proper diet, in other words resources are limited indirectly and/or directly. Dr Wright's concerns are valid and his personal views, opinions and suggestions give you plenty to mull over.
Dr Wright's tone is rather harsh, snarky, sarcastic, as you turn the pages and read until the end you find his directness and no nonsense manner provide the tools required to deal with the more creative and manipulative inmates. I enjoyed his brusqueness and complete honesty. Admittedly his wit left me chuckling out loud, not taking away from the more serious instances.
A solid glimpse into the life of a doctor tending to those in a correctional facility as beauracracy, a power hungry sheriff poses more of a challenge than the inmates.

Following on from its predecessor where the author details his time working as the medical officer in Colorados infamous supermax prison, Dr Wright continues his story whereby he is employed to the smaller county jail. Should be a piece of cake after dealing with terrorists and the criminally insane right? Not quite so much...
Like his first book, Wright keeps his sense of humour and like mentioned in my earlier review, not every reader will find it appropriate. Some of what the author says did raise my eyebrows but even so I did enjoy the book and devoured it in less than twenty four hours.
A fascinating insight into healthcare behind bars. Ideal for lovers of true crime, abnormal psychology and criminology like myself.

I just finished reading, Jailhouse Doc and I found it very interesting. Dr. Wright is very candid in his telling of what really happens in a jail. I read some things that I was not aware of. This is the kind of book that people should read before they do something that will put them in a jail. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions ar my own.

I enjoyed this book having worked previously in the prison world myself. It was interesting to see it from the doctors point of view. At times I laughed at what he had dealt with because it was so similar to things I had seen or dealt with myself.

It was a good read, but coming from someone who worked in a prison, and currently teaches in the Criminal Justice field, I found Wright's writing style a bit callous and too curt. I would have liked to see him expand more on some of the stories, as the people behind the stories are what are interesting (to me at least). Afterall, working in a jail/prison, in any capacity, is a human services related position that requires a great deal of empathy (yes, they are offenders, but they are human beings too). I don't think he portrayed that very well in his writing. I enjoyed his humor, and could relate to that (commonly referred to in the field as "gallow's humor") but feel he missed the mark on relaying the human side of things.

Book received through Edelweiss.
This is the second memoir written by Dr. Wright. This one focuses on his time as a doctor in the county jail in Colorado Springs, unlike his first one that took place in a SuperMax prison. He talks about some of the unusual complaints by certain patients, the difficulty in long term treatment of those in a county jail, and the complaints from patients to their lawyers or even their mothers trying to get meds they don't necessarily need. I really enjoy books like this, it gives you a glimpse into a part of life that most people will never experience or even know about. Due to the way he makes references back to his first book, reading it could be helpful but not necessary. However, I will be reading his first book as well since I enjoyed this one.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
Starting to read this book I didn’t quite know what to expect, but this turned out to be a fun book to read. Do not get me wrong, I know prison is no joke and medicine neither but put the two together and throw a doctor with a sense of humour into the mix and you get a real fun way of looking at a serious situation.
Written with a tongue in the cheek style Dr Wright described a few situations between him and some prisoners that had me in stiches. That man sure has a way to describe a scene so that one can imagine vividly.
To be honest he should have had a lot of patience and ingenuity, because some of the tricks those people came up with was genius and the good doctor has outwitted them time and again.
My favourite part in the book was a chapter called Verbal Aikido (Chapter 23) – with a female prisoner who apparently haven’t had a clue what a STD was but wanted one. Oh boy, that was so funny. It is sad thinking that some people can really by that uninformed.
William Wright MD is today the Medical Director of The Cheyenne Mountain Re-entry Center but I am sure he still has a lot of stories to tell. I will patiently await the next Jailhouse book.

Of course I enjoyed this book. I am a nurse who enjoyed working in the jail and House of Corrections for one Sheriff's Dept, and in a different jail in another county after relocating. I was intrigued by his perspective as MD accustomed to serving solvent clients as opposed to the indigent. I can't comment on the prison experiences, only the jail ones. I will admit to being disappointed that he did not mention that approximately 25% of jail residents (regardless of jail size) are the truly mentally ill (as opposed to 'situational depression' of having gotten caught), but gratified that the issues around chronic overcrowding were exposed. I am sorry for his experiences with the politics of corrections, but very pleased that he exposed the issue. It can happen anywhere.
I feel that this first person account was very well written and provides a cautionary tale to the readers.
Eric Martin gave an excellent audio performance! Truly captured the emotional responses of the writer to so many new experiences and outrages.

In this quick read, Dr. Williams shares his experiences as a doctor in a county jail. Through a series of short anecdotes, he relates how he came to work in the jail, some of the interesting characters he encountered, and the jailhouse politics. I would have liked more depth, to know a bit more than just a couple paragraphs about the cases he encountered, for example. After finishing it, I didn't feel that I knew much more either about the conditions in jails in general or the medical clinics in the jail. I do plan to google some of those mentioned to learn more about their stories since so little was included in the book. Would I read it again? probably not. Recommend to others? if interested in medicine or the jail system, but don't expect to learn much new if you already know something about those areas.

Dr. William Wright retired from his practice of being an ear specialist after 30 years. After a while at home, he decided he needed something more and took a job being the medical doctor in a maximum security prison. A job became available in the country jail closer to home and he decided to take it.
This is an insightful look at people who are taken to jail for things such as vagrancy, drugs, alcohol, domestic abuse etc. This book was at times funny and others rather sad. Dr. Wright tells it the way it is and it's not a pretty picture. This is a job few will take but he did and did his best for most of these people, criminals or not. My hat's off to him and giving back to his community. This is a well written and informative book, I'd recommend it.

Very enjoyable read
I always felt prisoners received poor medical attention when they received any, but after reading this book maybe that's not true. The doctor seems to care about his patients and his work. The book was witty and insightful. This was good entertainment for a couple of hours.

What a fantastic read! I loved the way Dr. Wright handled all the politics and other problems in corrections medicine. He took it all in stride and made the best of it.
I can't wait to start his first book, it should be a winner as well.

We're not in Kansas anymore
I now know someone in prison and I wondered what it's like. I now have a much better idea, especially the medical aspect. Bless those medical personnel who serve this challenging population.

Awesome.
A funny and deeply troubling book at the same time. The author takes you into a world we would all like to shut out. But it is there and real. Especially the last three chapters had a lasting impression on me, quality food for thought.

Interesting read
This is a very well written (and entertaining) book. Having been a medical professional for over 39 years it opened my eyes to an area of medicine I never thought about.

This was a fairly interesting but somewhat disappointing memoir from a doctor who worked in the Colorado County Jail for a year. It was well read by Eric Martin who has a very pleasant and clear voice. What I was expecting--and got to some extent--were some interesting, entertaining, and sometimes downright funny stories about various prisoners and their ailments (or sometimes imaginary problems). What I didn't expect--and didn't really enjoy--was quite a lot of complaining about the corrections system in the U.S. and especially in Colorado and the admittedly unfair treatment received by Wright at the hands of some administrative types with political aspirations. There was some filler, I thought--repetitive thoughts/comments that seemed there only to make the book long enough to publish. But, all that being said, I will probably look for Wright's other book about working in the prison system (as opposed to working in the jail) because overall the stories were entertaining, and I enjoyed listening to it.

I am a criminal defense attorney, and picked up this book to get some idea of what it is like for my clients who are locked up. It is an interesting perspective on medical treatment under what are poor conditions.
Several comments have said that the author looks down on the people he treats. This isn't completely wrong, but not 100% right either. The book is obviously not a summary of every patient he saw in the jail, only the ones who have a story that is entertaining enough to tell. Because the reader only sees the funny or the anger-inducing, we get a skewed viewpoint of the author and his work.
I could have done without the political commentary near the end. However, that section was necessary to explain what led up to his eventual firing. For that reason, much as I don't feel it fits the tone of the book, it needed to be in there.
Overall, a very entertaining read about a serious subject.

Many little anecdotes about working at a jail, not a prison.
"If we treat people like animals when they are in prison, they are likely to behave like animals when released."
Didn't I just read this book? It's telling that seemingly this country's attitude problem starts from higher-ups needing to feel more important than the less fortunate. Sounds like an overhaul (read: anarchy) is called for. Not that Jan 6 silliness. Those goofballs still believe in somebody, the morons. I prefer nihilism.
The last couple chapters are this doctor fixing the broken prison system.
"I think approaching evil as more of a public health problem may be more productive."
Taking away people's freedom is punishment enough. While they're not free, goad responsibility and community into the prisoner.
I'm just regurgitating what Dr. Wright taught me about Norway's prison system. Recidivism is much lower up there in the cold, and I want to believe it's because criminals are treated like human beings. Because prison is (usually) temporary. Humanity is forever.

I read Dr. Wright's first book, Maximum Insecurity, and enjoyed it so much that I thought I would read this book as well. (As an aside, my public library in Oregon didn't have this book but they got a copy for me from Nebraska...always interesting to me where they get the copy.) I found this book interesting and entertaining with more insights into the administration of correctional facilities. The stories about individual inmates ranged from frustrating to sad to frightening. I admire Dr. Wright's willingness to work in the prison system and the compassion he has for his patients. I was particularly interested in his discussion about prison facilities in other countries, specifically Sweden and Norway. I agree with his position that the way prison facilities are set up and run should be reconsidered.

September 14, 2020An enlightening read!
Thanks Dr. Wright for sharing your experiences with us. Having been in the healthcare field myself for 40+ years I found this to be quite eye opening. Your sense of humor is definitely a bonus and much needed in your line of work. I have great respect for your ideals and your methods of dealing with your patients. I especially enjoyed the Aikido method! I appreciate the philosophical perspective at the end with comparison to Swedish correctional methods.

So interesting
I've never been to jail but if I ever did and needed medical help I would hope for a doctor like you. You seem very intelligent and compassionate. I couldn't fathom doing what you do. It would be hard enough to be a doctor without having to deal with inmates that are addicted and constantly scamming for drugs.

As Rockstar Doc the name of the book sounds and suggests ( read : the likes of Dr House ) , this book is exactly the opposite of what it might promise , even to a doctor reader like me . A very good choice if you suffer from insomnia and nothing helps , this one definitely will !

Super interesting!
Really enjoyed Dr. Wright's description of what goes on in prison and jail medical care. Thank you to all the medical staff who serve in the prison and jails. Agree with Dr. Wright that we need prison reform to include education and social skill training.

Everybody on the whole cell block...
This was a short, but interesting read. I hadn't really given much thought to "jailhouse doctors" or why they do what they do. It was an interesting look into that life.

Pretty good book with some insight on the way medicine works in the corrections department. More of a casual conversation. As for the purely clinical or description of interesting cases, this book was lacking. It seemed like the author just complained about 85% of his time at the jail.

Great Read
Insightful...witty...and touching presentation of life as a jail Doc. Well written, easy to read, and I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading any books this Doc authors.
