by Daniel Hudson
Category: Social Science

Managing Death-sentenced Inmates begins with a discussion of the background of the death penalty in the United States. It examines the special issues and concerns relating to this sentencing option, the many legal issues which relate to housing such inmates for increasing periods of time before their execution, and the varying management practices and options used in supervising those sentenced to death. It is not intended to campaign for or against the death penalty, but to provide the reader with a better understanding of the process involved in managing these inmates.
