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.
