Book of the Week  The Chain by Chien-Chi Chang The Chain is an unnerving series of portraits taken at a mental-care institution in southern Taiwan, where 700 patients live together. At the institution, pairs of patients are yoked like prisoners in a chain gang as they work, eat, shower, even go to the bathroom, released only when it is time to sleep. Despite harsh criticism of the temple's methods, the Taiwanese government seems to have turned a blind eye to the situation. | Join the Fray  © Marilyn Silverstone / Magnum Photos What do you think of these photos?
