"Dr. Vince Gilmer's arrest for murder shocked his patients. The deeper Benjamin Gilmer looked into Vince's case, the more he became obsessed with discovering that pushed a good man to darkness. When Benjamin visited Vince in prison, he met a man who appeared to be fighting his own mind, constantly twitching and veering into nonsensical tangents. It was obvious that Vince needed help. Dr. Benjamin Gilmer's story asks us to answer a profound question: In a country with the highest incarceration rates in the world, what would it look like if we prioritized healing rather than punishment?"--
