It must certainly have required a strong nerve to undertake this escapade.\" -British Mail, 1876 Fifteen years before Nellie Bly's famous investigation, Ten Days in a Mad-House (also available from Cosimo Classics), muckraking journalist Julius Chambers led the way in exposing abuse in the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum in A Mad World and Its Inhabitants (1876). Thanks to his reports on the ten days he lived among the inmates, a dozen sane patients were freed, an asylum reorganization was forced, and there was a change in the laws that governed the management. This book is considered a landmark in the field of investigative journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 19, 1905\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52636741009715,"sku":"9781646798902","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TLjfTU-ZOz9781646798902.webp?v=1762278764","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-mad-world-and-its-inhabitants-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
