OverviewThis book explores several topics related to the sentence of life without parole. It delves into the history of commutation and pardons, the evolution of the life sentence and a state-by-state overview of the sentence. The controversial use of a life sentence for juveniles is also reviewed and how this continues to evolve. Perhaps most importantly this book follows those that have been the exception and been paroled from a life sentence as it explores recidivism and redemption. Several case studies of those sentenced to life are covered in detail including, paroled juvenile lifers, commuted adult lifers and those still incarcerated or who died while serving their sentence. It is primarily centered on Pennsylvania, which leads the world in juveniles sentenced to life and has also been a leader, in resentencing those juvenile as per a Supreme Court ruling. Also included are several perspectives from crime victims, many of whom have lost a loved one to homicide. This book may challenge many reader's beliefs about who is deserving of a life sentence and whether redemption is possible.
