Dr. Albert Kligman experimented on inmates at Holmesburg Prison with various chemicals, surgical procedures, injury schedules and radioactive isotopes. The prisoners were financially compensated, but were not afforded informed consent and rarely knew what was being administered or how it would affect their long-term health.
Part 3 focuses on the Atomic Energy Commission license Kligman fraudulently acquired to be able to acquire and administer radioactive isotopes on prisoners without telling them what he was doing, and without approved safety procedures or safety personnel.
