'The Rise and Fall of the Death Penalty'

This May 27, 2008 file photo, shows an execution chamber in Huntsville, Texas. The Republican-controlled Texas House has voted to ban the execution of inmates who are severely mentally ill.

A new book takes a look at the history and practice of one of the most controversial elements of the American criminal justice system: the death penalty. Author Maurice Chammah joins us to discuss his book Let the Lord Sort Them: The Rise and Fall of the Death Penalty, which won the 2019 J. Anthony Lukas Work-In-Progress Book Award.
