      abstract = {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.},
