A book review of: Westervelt S.D. and Cook K.J.

This material is a translation of the F.R. Baumgartner’s review of the book "Life After Death Row: Exonerees' Search for Community and Identity" by S. D. Westervelt and K. J. Cook originally published in the journal Sociation Today. The review gives a short narration of the book’s content, which is partly an analysis of the social and psychological aspects of lives of the so-called ‘exoneers’ – people who were mistakenly condemned to death and later released after the mistake became apparent, and partly a description and evaluation of the government’s policies concerning this group of people. Translator: Vinogradova K.N. Original in: Sociation Today. 2013. 11(1). Available online: http://www.ncsociology.org/sociationtoday/v111/review1.html
