juveniles to life without parole

[swatiraohnlu]

Some minors/juveniles under 18 have been sentenced to life without parole for particularly severe crimes, such as murder. But, the practice has been very rare, and is frowned upon by those that believe juveniles should be offered a greater level of forgiveness than adults that are considered more capable of understanding the consequences of their actions.

Would you support Sentencing juveniles to life without parole?

"without the victim in the center all good reforms of the criminal justice are not restorative justice."

The goal is restoration. If we tell our offender that they should never be released from prison, they I don't think we want that person to be restored.

If we eliminate life without parole for crimes committed by a juvenile do not mean they will get out of prison some day, but allows the possibility that if they are rehabilitated that someday they might be free.
