ERIC BOWN , brother of our members John and Tom Bown, gave a fascinating  talk about his experiences working in the medical field at area correctional institutions, mainly at the Trenton State Prison. He took up medicine as a second carrier at age 50, and , after working as ambulance attendant, serving  Holmsberg, and a local women prison, took the job at Trenton, and was assigned as the night shift medical charge person at Trenton State Prison. Eric related the conditions he found as 'dungeon' like, with almost primitive medical facilities, and how , without and indoctrination, was handed the responsibility of diagnosing and treating death -row prisoners from the maximum security prison, the oldest functioning prison in the U.S. He gave several examples of the emergency treatments he administered, as he learned the job, 'on the go'. He also spoke about a few of the famous prisoners the were housed at the facility. 
Thank-you, ERIC, for this informative and enlightening talk.
