Omschrijving

Beyond the Walls: The Dark Reality of Central Florida Behavioral Health pulls back the curtain on one of Florida's most troubled institutions. What began as a hopeful sanctuary in Orlando became a place where vulnerable patients endured overcrowding, overmedication, and mistreatment at the hands of undertrained staff.

Through eyewitness accounts, patient stories, whistleblower testimony, and legal battles, Thomas Miller documents how the facility's descent mirrored a larger collapse in America's mental health system. Families entrusted their loved ones to care, only to discover conditions more reminiscent of a supermax prison than a hospital.

Inside these pages, you'll find:

Harrowing patient stories of survival and trauma Investigations into staff misconduct, abuse, and neglect The shocking overuse of restraints and medication The facility's legal scandals and class-action lawsuits A broader look at systemic failures in U.S. mental health care

Unflinching and necessary, this book gives voice to those silenced and calls for long-overdue accountability. It is both an exposé and a demand for reform, reminding us of the human cost when profit and control replace compassion and care.

For readers of true crime, investigative nonfiction, and social justice literature, this book is both disturbing and vital.
