Normalizing Extreme Imprisonment

The Case of Life Without Parole in California

Beschreibung

A critical examination of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (LWOP). This book presents a unique case study of the 'normalization' of LWOP and the extent to which groups and individuals within civil society who challenge capital punishment have helped normalize LWOP by fostering the belief that it is humane and merciful.
