‘Mulgrew has achieved a thought-provoking and stimulating account of both the form and function of early release in this niche but extremely significant area. This book draws together the existing scholarship on the substantive and procedural law and moves the debate into the logical next stage of post-sentencing analysis and critique of release. It is of interest, not only to readers with an interest in the rights of prisoners, or international criminal law in general, but also a useful educational resource for international criminal law teachers who may find not only a comprehensive overview, but also critical discourse that can challenge students in their studies.’
