Psychologist Daniel Pratt uncovers the grim reality of suicide in America's overcrowded prisons. Through first-hand accounts and data, he reveals the systemic failures enabling these preventable deaths. As Pratt peels back the layers, he exposes the complex web of mental health challenges, lack of resources, and institutional apathy that push vulnerable inmates to the brink. With empathy and urgency, he proposes bold solutions to transform the carceral system and save lives.
