Prison

By Noel Merino

It isn't everyday that we have access to a dialogue with Sandra Day O'Connor, but this book can provide that. The topic of prisons is seated in an examination of four major court case decisions and their implications. The case is explained across a chapter, then major and dissenting opinions are presented. Legal experts, journalists, and other authorities then weigh in on the decision's consequences and lasting impact. Essay sources include Clarence Thomas, William Rehnquist, the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, Families Against Mandatory Minimums, and Amnesty International.
