520    Issa Ibrahim's memoir details in searing prose his 
       development of severe mental illness leading to a horrific
       family tragedy, his acquittal by reason of insanity, and 
       his subsequent commission to a mental hospital for nearly 
       twenty years. Raised in an idyllic creative environment, 
       mom and dad cultivating his talent, Issa watches his 
       family's descent into chaos in the drug-crazed late 1980s.
       Following his father's death, Issa, grief-stricken and 
       vulnerable, travels down a road that leads to psychosis-
       and to one of the most nightmarish scenarios conceivable. 
       Issa receives the insanity plea and is committed to an 
       insane asylum with no release date. But that is only the 
       beginning of his odyssey. Institutional and sexual sins 
       cause further punishments, culminating in a heated legal 
       battle for freedom. Written with great verve and immediacy,
       The Hospital Always Wins paints a detailed picture of a 
       broken mental-health system but also reveals the power of 
       art, when nurtured in a benign environment, to provide a 
       resource for recovery. Ultimately, this is a story about 
       survival and atonement through creativity and courage 
       against almost insurmountable odds.
