Today all of the living defendants remain behind bars. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Relying on nearly fifty years of parole hearing transcripts, as well as interviews and archival materials, Hadar Aviram invites readers into the opaque world of the California parole process--a realm of almost unfettered administrative discretion, prison programming inadequacies, high-pitched emotions, and political pressures. \u003ci\u003eYesterday's Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh longitudinal perspective on extreme punishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hadar Aviram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520291557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520291553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020","brand":"Hadar Aviram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987422937343,"sku":"9780520291553","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b0c3878-d3b2-464a-930b-feb3109265b9.jpg?v=1683288898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yesterdays-monsters-hadar-aviram-9780520291553","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
