Anne-Marie Cusac examines the evolution of American penal policy, tracing the shift from rehabilitation to retribution through a historical lens. By analyzing the legal and cultural frameworks that permitted the normalization of extreme punishment, the author provides a critical assessment of how these practices challenge fundamental democratic principles and human rights standards in the modern era.
