Biography
Leo L. Stanley, born 1886 in Oregon, graduated from Cooper Medical College of Stanford University in 1912. He spent most of his life as Chief Physician and Surgeon at the California State Prison at San Quentin. He did take time out to travel, however, usually as the ship's doctor on large luxury cruises.
Biographical Information
Leo Stanley was born in Oregon in 1886 and raised in San Luis Obispo County, California. After receiving his bachelor's degree at Stanford University in 1903 and matriculating to Cooper Medical College in 1908, Stanley served his medical residency at San Quentin State Prison. In 1913, Stanley accepted the position of Chief Medical Officer at the prison, a position he held until his retirement in 1951. During his tenure at San Quentin, Stanley performed medical experiments on prisoners involving testicular transplants, attracting national media attention (the "Buck" Kelly case). This notoriety would cling to him until his death in 1976.
Throughout his life, Stanley traveled the world, working as a physician, studying prison hospitals, and observing conditions at prison road camps. He penned a number of articles for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers and medical journals and published several books, including My Most Unforgettable Convicts . The final years of his life were spent writing and working on his farm ("Crest Farm") in Marin County, California, with his second wife Bernice Holthouse.
