Negative Positive
Title: Book review; not social commentary
Review: Well researched and informative, and definitely worth reading. A brief reading of all the reviews quickly reveals that those who think that L.V.H. should never be released simply hate the book, and those that are willing to consider K. Faith's perspective typically liked it.I don't think that K. Faith's perspective is completely objective, but it does raise some very interesting points: Should we be open to the notion that people can change and that prisons should serve not just to punish criminals (at a tremendous cost to society) but also to rehabilitate? Perhaps one of the most interesting questions is "should taxpayers continue to keep someone behind bars when they clearly are no longer a threat to society? Regardless of my opinions, Faith did a good job of getting me to think about these basic questions.
Is the review positive or negative?
