Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-15 00:00:00 Robert Trend Chapters reviewed: 1. Robert Greifinger, Thirty Years Since Estelle v. Gamble: Looking Forward, Not Wayward 3. Jon Wool, Litigating for Better Medical Care 4. R. Samuel Paz, Accommodating Disabilities in Jails and Prisons 19. Andrea Balis, Female Prisoners and the Case for Gender-Specific Treatment and Reentry Programs 21. Raymond Patterson & Robert Greifinger, Treatment of Mental Illness in Correctional Settings This is a collection of scholarship written from a very administrative-legal (and therefore conservative) perspective, which was very unexciting for my purposes, but chs. 3 & 4 provided passable overviews of, respectively, the development of prisoners' right to medical care and retrenchment through the PLRA and the high "deliberate indifference" standard; and the ADA in the carceral context. In ch. 3 on prisoner medical care litigation, Wool calls on courts to step up to their responsibility for protecting prisoners' rights, as the political unpopularity of the cause makes it extremely difficult for reform to come from the majoritarian branches. Ch. 19 identifies a problem but offering substantive proposals to address it are outside of the scope of the essay. Balis synthesizes data showing that incarcerated women are far more likely to have experienced abuse, to suffer from substance abuse, mental illness, and have a higher prevalence of HIV/AIDS and chronic illness than incarcerated men. The issue of incarcerated women who were formerly primary caregivers of children is also flagged as an issue to consider in thinking about re-entry.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-05-18 00:00:00 Chris Dillingham Glannon provides thorough and well-balanced views on some of the key biomedical ethical issues most pertinent today. The book was comprehensive enough to be used for my Philosophy of Health Care class at the University of Alberta. However, although Glannon touches on most of the necessary points for various issues, the arguments he utilizes are not the strongest ones existing for various philosophical branches.
