This collection questions the received wisdom contained in the debate about capital punishment. It asks questions and proposes remedies for a raft of issues identified as having been overlooked in the traditional discourse. It provides a long overdue review of the disparate groups and strategies that lay claim to abolitionism. The authors argue that capital litigators should use their skills to challenge the abuses not just of process, but of the conditions in which the condemned await their fate, namely prison conditions, education, leisure, visits and medical services.
