Perfect for fans of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow and Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy The United States, alone, locks up a quarter of the world's incarcerated people. And yet apart from clicheÌs-paying a debt to society; you do the crime, you do the time-there is little sense collectively in America what constitutes retribution or atonement. We don't actually know why we punish. Ben Austen's powerful exploration offers a behind-the-scenes look at the process of parole. Told through the portraits of two men imprisoned for murder, and the parole board that holds their freedom in the balance, Austen's unflinching storytelling forces us to reckon 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Parole $z United States. 650 0 $a Corrections $z United States. 650 0 $a Punishment in crime deterrence $z United States. 650 0 $a Prison $x Moral and ethical aspects $z United States. 941 $a 13 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012603.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045056.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024559.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240302013437.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240210011028.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20240206022527.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012724.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010401.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231228010201.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231205011324.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231202013642.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231202012009.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121012053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC81B4BC883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
