Today's True Weird Stuff - Ballsy
Dr. Leo Stanley was the chief surgeon at San Quentin State Prison from 1913 to 1951. His horrific, pro-eugenics legacy included performing inhumane surgeries on inmates as a way to rehabilitate them...from thyroid removal to transplanting testicular glands from executed prisoners to living inmates. His belief in surgical cures for criminal minds made him a medical Frankenstein.
