Reviews

Leigey's work merits a broad readership. Highly recommended.

A profound and moving work of social science that explains in compelling prose what it means to sentence human beings to live and die in prison. The forgotten men whose life stories frame this book will be long remembered by students of penology. Leigey's superb book will guide my research and teaching in the coming years. --Robert Johnson professor of justice, law and criminology at American University (01/08/2015)

The Forgotten Men is a thorough, insightful, and engaging book that provides rich information and in-depth analysis in order to accurately convey the realities of life in prison. Leigey's book is a unique and cutting?-?edge contribution. --Ronald Aday professor of sociology, Middle Tennessee State University (09/12/2014)

By carefully recording the decades-long experiences of those sentenced to permanent incarceration, Leigey brings a much needed degree of humanity to these forgotten men. In so doing, her important contribution impels readers to consider the purpose served by lifelong prison sentences. --Ashley Nellis The Sentencing Project (02/06/2015)
