Incarceration on Death Row. A Microcosm of Communication?

      Аннотация: Death row is a space across the United States that continues to expand, not only in numbers, but in the length of time inmates spend confined there. Fewer and fewer inmates are executed and death row is now increasingly the punishment of capital convicts. This book examines the retributive and punitive treatment of death sentenced offenders within that space and by viewing that form of imprisonment as part of a communication process it assesses the contribution death row detention makes to the death penalty in the USA.
