Life without parole in context -- pt. 2. Prospects for reform.  a"Is life without parole the perfect compromise to the death penalty? Or is it as ethically fraught as capital punishment? This comprehensive, interdisciplinary anthology treats life without parole as "the new death penalty." Editors Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. and Austin Sarat bring together original work by prominent scholars in an effort to better understand the growth of life without parole and its social, cultural, political, and legal meanings. What justifies the turn to life imprisonment? How should we understand the fact that this penalty is used disproportionately against racial minorities? What are the most promising avenues for limiting, reforming, or eliminating life without parole sentences in the United States? Contributors explore the structure of life without parole sentences and the impact they have on prisoners, where the penalty fits in modern theories of punishment, and prospects for (as well as challenges to) reform"--cProvided by publisher.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2013.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aParolezUnited States. 0aLife imprisonmentzUnited States. 0aCapital punishmentzUnited States. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aOgletree, Charles J.1 aSarat, Austin.2 aebrary, Inc. 0aCharles Hamilton Houston Institute series on race and justice.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10565444zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c94432d94432
