Synopsis
In 1969, the world was shocked by a series of murders committed by Charles Manson and his "family" of followers. Although the defendants were sentenced to death in 1971, their sentences were commuted to life with parole in 1972; since 1978, they have been regularly attending parole hearings. Today all of the living defendants remain behind bars. 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. Yesterday's Monsters offers a fresh longitudinal perspective on extreme punishment.

- a***p (448)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI can only say that this was by far one of the best buying experiences on eBay that I have had in years! The quality of the item (DVD set and guidebook) was exactly as listed by the seller. The condition was just as great, and the value that I got for the amount I paid was absolutely worth it! The packing of the items was impeccable and the delivery fast! What else could you ask for? Buy from this seller and support a great cause, please! Thank you!!!
- k***v (83)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook and value was excellent. Seller was awesome! Description of book was spot on accurate (Book WAS indeed in VERY GOOD condition as seller indicated). Communication was great. This perfect bound style softcover book was very carefully packaged including being tightly wrapped in brown paper, with a stiffener cardboard sheet to prevent bending, all inside the bubble wrap envelope. I could not be happier with purchase.Surf Science: An Introduction to Waves for Surfing (#276942546850)
