Too Easy to Keep

Life-Sentenced Prisoners and the Future of Mass Incarceration

Beschreibung

"By giving agency to prisoners through narrative, Steve Herbert draws into sharp relief the limits of the narrow correctional labeling of life-sentenced prisoners as 'easy keepers, ' providing deep insights that will be of great interest to diverse audiences."--Benjamin Fleury-Steiner, University of Delaware "If one were to read only one book on life-sentenced prisoners, this would be it. Herbert writes beautifully, clearly, and compellingly, reinforcing and extending the main points of a growing body of research on lifer adjustment."--Robert Johnson, American University
