This review is from: Inside the Death Chamber: Exploring Executions (Paperback)

This is a great book, I purchased it as a requirement for an Intro. to Corrections class, and it is very informative and easy to read. The author presents the issue of the death penalty from an objective neutral point of view. It is enjoyable to read and contains a lot of useful information. Highly recommended! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the death penalty.
