Crime category needs revisions

I noticed there was some strange grammar and spelling in the paragraph concerning crime. I made a few small edits (26 june 2022) to correct this. After quickly checking the edit history of this section, I would recommend a more experienced editor rollback to an earlier edit, which appeared more accurate. The most recent edits to the article (21 June 2022) seem unnecessary.

I have no real experience editing Wikipedia pages, but this seemed concerning.

Crime - Vice Documentary

I'll leave this here for any editor if they want it. I've never had much luck editing Wikipedia directly, but some of the references I've added in talk have worked here and there..

Use by the CIA in Project MKULTRA

"To Dr. Isbell, it was just another experiment. "I have had seven pa�tients who have now been taking the drug for more than 42 days," he wrote in the middle of the test, which he called "the most amazing demonstration of drug tolerance I have ever seen." Isbell tried to "break through this tolerance" by giving triple and quadruple doses of LSD to the inmates. Filled with intense curiosity, Isbell tried out a wide variety of unproven drugs on his subjects. Just as soon as a new batch of scopolamine, rivea seeds, or bufontenine arrived from the CIA or NIMH, he would start testing. His relish for the task occa�sionally shone through the dull scientific reports. "I will write you a letter as soon as I can get the stuff into a man or two," he informed his Agency contact. No corresponding feeling shone through for the inmates, however. In his few recorded personal comments, he com�plained that his subjects tended to be afraid of the doctors and were not as open in describing their experiences as the experi�menters would have wished. Although Isbell made an effort to "break through the barriers" with the subjects, who were nearly all black drug addicts"
