'Life After Murder
At a price towards the state of $50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to $100,000 per inmate per year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], former governors George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the board's decision to parole inside a great majority of cases.
What's less clear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and what Nancy Mullane wants us to think about, is exactly what this case has meant for the prisoners. Through claustrophobia-inducing descriptions of prison cells and sobering reports of what sort of prisoner that has been incarcerated a lot more than 20 years actually conceives of freedom ("What's the very first thing you want to do when you are getting out?" "Take my shoes off after which take my socks off and walk about the carpet. Then I want to navigate to the store and purchase all different kinds of salsa."),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mullane reveals how little we all know by what every day life is like for long-term prisoners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and reminds us how significant this really is.
As Kim Richman, professor of sociology and legal studies, is quoted within the book,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Responsible human beings should view the living conditions of their fellow people. That needs a leap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since it requires you to view people inside prisons as humans, which most people don't." Reading "Life After Murder: Five Men looking for Redemption," we now have no choice but to do this.
Spending time around murderers, Mullane proves our proxy as she encounters her very own ignorance and judgmental tendencies and slowly replaces fears and preconceptions with understanding and compassion. It's the relationships Mullane builds, and also the stories she tells -- specially those of the five paroled murderers who compose the central focus of the book -- that move the book beyond policy analysis and into something profoundly human. These five are willing to go public with their crimes because, as you murderer says to Mullane, "If by my telling my story it will make it feasible for my brothers who're still locked as much as get out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'll answer any question you've got."
Their stories are complicated and compelling. When these men meet obstacles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because they surely do, you'll be shocked because of your desperation to turn the web pages and learn that things work out on their behalf. They do, plus they don't.
Because this is not a book of suspense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I don't mind revealing the surprise happyish ending,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], policy-wise. In 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the California Top court ruled that the governor must have "current evidence" of a prisoner's threat to society to deny parole. Since beginning his second term in 2011,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jerry Brown has reversed only 17 % of the parole board's decisions. As more murderers who deserve to be released are released,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the stories in "Life After Murder" become increasingly vital that you allow us to appreciate this oft-ignored segment of our population.
