This Review began taking shape when I was a visiting scholar at NYU Law School in the spring of 2017, and I owe thanks to Rachel Barkow, Barry Friedman, and NYU’s Center on the Administration of Criminal Law for being such gracious hosts. I am also grateful to Deborah Denno, Carol Sanger, and Scott Sundby for valuable comments on an earlier draft of this Review, and to David Garland for illuminating conversation.
