Texas (dissent of Justice Breyer) ; Ewing v. California ; Brown v. Plata ; Pepper v. United States ; Miller v. Alabama. 520 $a "Exactly how is it we think the ends of justice are accomplished by means of sentencing a convict to a term in prison? How do we relate a quantitative measure of time--months and years--to the objectives of deterring crime, punishing wrongdoers, and accomplishing a quality of justice for those touched by a criminal act? Linda Meyer investigates these questions, examining the disconnect between our two basic modes of thinking about time--chronologically (seconds, minutes, hours), or phenomenologically (observing, taking note of, or being aware of the passing of time). Meyer asks whether--in overlooking the irreconcilability of these two modes of thinking about time--we are failing to accomplish anything near to the ends we believe the criminal justice system is designed to serve. Drawing on work in philosophy, legal theory, jurisprudence, and the history of penology, Meyer explores how, rather than condemning prisoners to an experience of time bereft of meaning, we might instead make the experience of incarceration constructively meaningful--and thus better aligned with social objectives of deterring crime, reforming offenders, and restoring justice."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $z United States. 650 0 $a Prison sentences $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Prison sentences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077078 650 7 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112638 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a Public works (Amherst College Press) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDC72FA2E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
