I’ll never forget the heat when I worked on Rikers Island, but it was nothing compared to this, and I went home at night. The suffering is unimaginable. We must do something for those who cannot help themselves!.

I just returned from a wonderful book event in Reno, NV, where my co-author, Frank De Palma and I discussed our book, “Never to Surrender!” It’s a gripping story — & fast turning into the little book that could! 22 years in solitary— so proud to tell Frank De Palma’s story!

Fantastic article! Nothing like the perspective of someone on the front lines.
I’m thrilled beyond words that this has been published, as it’s a deeply personal story that has motivated me to share the powerful experience of one of my patients on Rikers Island. @MarshallProj thank you so much! . #CLOSERIKERS .
