About the Author:
The U.S. Constitution guarantees us freedom from "cruel and unusual punishment." Yet it allows the state to kill us, imprison us for life, or keep us in solitary confinement for years in the new Supermax prisons. How do we reconcile this contradiction?
Joseph A. Melusky is chair of the Department of History and Political Science at Saint Francis University, Loretto, PA.
Keith A. Pesto is a United States magistrate judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In one of the lengthiest, noisiest, and hottest legal debates in U.S. history, Cruel and Unusual Punishment stands out as a levelheaded, even-handed, and thorough analysis of the issue.The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution created one of the nation's most valued freedoms but, at the same time, one of its most persistent controversies. On 184 separate occasions, the Supreme Court attempted to decide what constitutes 'cruel and unusual punishment.'Constitutional scholars Joseph A. Melusky and Judge Keith A. Pesto help readers make sense of the controversy. The authors begin by sketching the context of the debate in a general overview that addresses issues such as excessive bails and fines, and noncapital offenses. But their primary focus is capital punishment. In a detailed, chronologically ordered discussion, they trace the evolving opinion of the nation's highest court from the late 19th century to the present, analyzing issues, arguments, holdings, and outcomes.
