421: SEÁN McCONVILLE: The Political Prisoner
Politically motivated offenses range from civil disobedience to crimes of shocking brutality and inhumanity. Offenders often seek the martyrdom of punishment, using prison to advance their image. McConville, professor in criminology, law, and government at Queen Mary College, Univ. of London and a renowned historian of penal policy, asks: How should democracies respond?

Presented in partnership with the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations.
