This Mad Scientist Is Behind The Holmesburg Prison Experiments
from South Fellini Presents Legends of Philadelphia · host South Fellini
Holmesburg Prison, nicknamed "The Terrordome," was a prison operated by the city of Philadelphia from 1896 to 1995. It was always a tough place but most controversially it was the site of a decades-long dermatological, pharmaceutical, and biochemical weapons research project tested on inmates. For over 20 years, Dr. Albert Kligman profited from experiments on incarcerated men at Holmesburg and has never faced the consequences of the harm he caused.Subscribe to South Fellini on YouTube.com/SouthFelliniListen to our old podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legends-of-philadelphia/id1504529624CONNECTShop: http://southfellini.comInstagram: http://instagram.com/southfelliniSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Av0bWoEKHxUmxHgs4qE80?si=24f061cca12c4e07YouTube: http://YouTube.com/SouthFelliniPatreon: http://Patreon.com/SouthFellini
