More than 850,000 Americans are currently on parole. Yet the parole system is opaque, a confounding process riddled with inequities. Few understand parole as the extraordinary pivot point it is - both in the country’s changing conceptions of justice and in the cycle of mass incarceration.Through its portraits of two men, imprisoned for murder, and the parole board that holds their freedom in the balance, Correction offers a behind-the-curtain look at the process of parole. Austen’s engaging storytelling forces a reckoning with some of the most profound questions underlying the country’s values around crime and punishment: What must someone who commits a terrible act do to get a second chance? What does incarceration seek to accomplish? An illuminating work of narrative nonfiction, Correction challenges us to consider for ourselves why and who we punish - and how we might find a way out of an era of mass imprisonment.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 154mmItem Weight: 300gAuthor: Ben Austen, Brett Barry, Macmillan AudioGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & Politics, BiographyItem Width: 30mmType: CriminologyNarrator: Brett BarryRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
