From the 1940's to the 1960's, researchers at the University of Chicago did research on malaria under the sponsorship of the Army. This bibliography contains the major publications resulting from this research:
Bibliography of Papers from the Army Medical Research Project, University of Chicago
The experiments described in many of the articles in this bibliography took place at Stateville Penitentiary using inmates as subjects. This practice raised questions about the nature of informed consent and the regulation of human subjects research. The following is a short selection of readings focused on these questions:
James B. Jacobs. Stateville: The Penitentiary in Mass Society (Studies in Crime and Justice). University of Chicago Press, 1977
Prison malaria: Convicts expose themselves to disease so doctors can study it. (1945). Life Magazine, 4 June, 43-46. (Includes images.)
