That will probably be some time in early October.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border:none !important; display: none !important; margin:0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=kirkbrbuildi-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0262013495\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Payne&#8217;s upcoming book Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals is available for pre-purchase on Amazon.
