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.
