Judge, jury, and executioner

No crime has been committed. Yeg Gene Silver, a student at a Midwestern university, is arrested and imprisoned. No trial is scheduled. No bond is set. Gene is a prisoner without rights - a prisoner on a psychatric ward. His struggles with his captors are interpreted as symptoms of various mental illnesses. His friendships and loves threaten to overshadow his goal - freedom. Judge, Jury and Executioner is a book which will be read and re-read by every person interested in the mysteries of mental illness. This unique novel explores the corridors of psychiatric wards through the eyes of one of its inhabitants - and reveals many secrets of psychiatry, and its prisoners which have never been published before (with the exception of One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest). This is the story of one individual's struggle to be free - a story of humor as well as pain; a story which will deeply touch everyone who reads it.
