Good Law | Bad Law - Charles Manson and Parole: A Conversation w/ Hadar Aviram
What do the grizzly Manson murders tell us today about long-term prison sentences? How do we regard people who commit violent crimes?
Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Hadar Aviram, of the University of California Hastings College of Law, to discuss punishment and parole, as well as Hadar’s new book on the subject, Yesterday’s Monsters: The Manson Family Cases and the Illusion of Parole.
In today’s episode, Aaron and Hadar talk about the criminal system, the notion of parole, social science, empathy, public opinion on punishment and more. Using the Manson Family murders to illustrate these ideas, Hadar and Aaron consider the flaws of our system, the origins of parole and whether or not violent offenders are redeemable. Hadar’s new book offers a perspective on extreme punishment, examining the infamous murders committed by Charles Manson and his “family” of followers. Through 50 years of parole transcripts, Hadar argues that these high-profile cases helped institutionalize severe criminal penalties and transformed our understanding of parole in general.
Who decides if these criminal offenders are worthy of a second chance? And, how?
Professor Aviram specializes in criminal justice, civil rights, law and politics, and social movements. Her research employs socio-legal perspectives and methodologies. Hadar publishes, teaches, and speaks on domestic violence, behavioral perspectives on prosecutorial and defense behavior, unconventional family units, animal rights, elder abuse, public trust in the police, correctional policy and budgeting, violence reduction, theoretical trends in crime and punishment, and the history of female crime and punishment. One of the leading voices nationwide against mass incarceration, Professor Aviram is a frequent media commentator on politics, immigration, criminal justice policy, civil rights, and the Trump Administration. Her blog, California Correctional Crisis, covers criminal justice policy in California.
