It must certainly have required a strong nerve to undertake this escapade.\" -British Mail, 1876 Fifteen years before Nellie Bly's famous investigation, Ten Days in a Mad-House (also available from Cosimo Classics), muckraking journalist Julius Chambers led the way in exposing abuse in the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum in A Mad World and Its Inhabitants (1876). Thanks to his reports on the ten days he lived among the inmates, a dozen sane patients were freed, an asylum reorganization was forced, and there was a change in the laws that governed the management. This book is considered a landmark in the field of investigative journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46894970634391,"sku":"9781646798902","price":1706.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646798902.webp?v=1770328789","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-mad-world-and-its-inhabitants-9781646798902","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
