Description

Lifers: Seeking Redemption in Prison by John Irwin offers a unique perspective on the American penal system. Drawing from his own experience serving five years in a California state penitentiary, Irwin provides an ethnography of prisoners who have spent over twenty years in a California correctional institution. This sixth book by the sociologist challenges common assumptions regarding homicide, the goals of imprisonment, and the ability of offenders to reform. Through the personal stories of long-term inmates, the text explores the reality of life for those serving extensive sentences in correctional facilities. This work serves as a significant contribution to criminology and justice studies for those interested in the sociological aspects of incarceration.
