More about the book

The publication presents unique and comprehensive findings from a five-year study involving 290 life-term prisoners, addressing life imprisonment from legal, criminological, and psychological perspectives. It features insights from experts and practitioners, including lawyers, psychologists, prison officers, and the prisoners themselves. The main aim was to define the typical life-term prisoner and to explore the presence of both the best and worst among the studied group, along with the factors that influence these distinctions. The authors reference various theories, such as deprivation, import, and rational choice, to illustrate how prisoners adapt to lifelong isolation and how the prison system responds to them. Additionally, the publication examines how both prisoners and the system engage with the sentencing and execution of life imprisonment, as well as the importance of diagnosis and potential interventions within the prison environment. This work serves as a comprehensive resource on the criminological and psychological aspects surrounding the lives of perpetrators and their experiences as sentenced individuals.
