At the end of September, he sent me an affectionate letter in response to the one I had sent announcing the soon beginning of the research project on cruel punishment of which he was the chairman of the advisory council. He transferred his sorrow to me after the loss of his wife, Nancy; now he was alone in life and scared by the covid in his apartment on the Thames Fisherman's Path in Oxford. With his extraordinary sense of humor, he compared the situation of so many during the first part of the pandemic with "solitary confinement", which is the cruelest way to serve a prison sentence and which is the critical object of so many of our academic works. He indicated to me his willingness to contribute to the book "Images of Cruelty" with a timely commentary on a British gallows. He attached his latest publication on the difficulties in abolishing the death penalty in the Anglo-Saxon Caribbean and announced that the two of us would meet in the tribute book to Hans Jörg Albrecht. But suddenly he got sick a few weeks ago and on November 17 he passed away.
