In 1969, the world was shocked by a series of murders committed by
Charles Manson and his "family" of followers. Although the
defendants were sentenced to death in 1971, their sentences were
commuted to life with parole in 1972; since 1978, they have been
regularly attending parole hearings. Today all of the living
defendants remain behind bars. Relying on nearly fifty years of
parole hearing transcripts, as well as interviews and archival
materials, Hadar Aviram invites readers into the opaque world of
the California parole process-a realm of almost unfettered
administrative discretion, prison programming inadequacies,
high-pitched emotions, and political pressures. Yesterday's
Monsters offers a fresh longitudinal perspective on extreme
punishment.
