USA Stop Life Without Parol Sentences for Kids. No Deadline - Take Action ASAP
Kids should have a second chance at life. The U.S. is the only country in the world where a child can be sentenced to life in prison without parole. The
Supreme Court has already ruled that sentencing children to a lifetime
in jail is unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment, but they left a
huge loophole allowing the practice to continue. What's
worse is that the practice is not rare — 44 states allow it. And more
than 2,500 inmates who were sentenced as children will spend the rest of
their lives in prison. Click here to ask the Attorney General provide policy guidelines for US attorneys to prevent life without parol sentences for children. They should have a second chance in life.
