Most of these offenders are now adults and have spent most of their life in the same place. These people could have went to college and become something, like a doctor, chef, and so much more, but instead they were left sitting in a cell. These children are in the midst of still growing and learning. They need to learn from their mistakes not just sit on them their whole life. The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth states that more than eighty percent of juveniles serving life have had a past that reflected their choices.
Children should not be sentenced to life imprisonment for their crimes, as such sentences ignore the developmental differences between children and adults. These life sentences can have adverse long-term effects on the mental health and well-being of the child.

Jessie Townsend May 3rd, 2016 Prof. Allen Wong ASOC283 Why Kids Get Life The documentary “When Kids Get Life” delves into four cases involving juveniles who are serving life without parole in Colorado prisons. All of these juveniles are serving this time due to first degree murder among other charges they have received.

Juveniles Justice Juveniles who are criminals being sentenced to life without parole can be shocking to some people.
