Rehab on the Range: A History of Addiction and Incarceration in the American West By Holly M. Karibo.

The article focuses on Holly M. Karibo's *Rehab on the Range*, which provides the first detailed history of the Fort Worth Narcotic Farm, a federal rehabilitation facility for "criminal addicts" operating from 1938 to the 1970s. Karibo situates the facility within the evolving federal drug prohibition system and highlights the dual administration by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) and the Bureau of Prisons (BoP), whose overlapping goals of treatment and discipline blurred the lines between rehabilitation and carceral control. The work emphasizes the Fort Worth farm’s role in the history of the carceral state and draws attention to the significance of the U.S.-Mexico border region in drug control history, a perspective often overlooked in scholarship. This study contributes to research on public health, addiction treatment, and criminal justice by exploring how addiction treatment functioned as a mechanism of social control.
