Juvenile Lifers's Blurbs |
About me:
Our website at Juvenilelifers.org is temporarily down, the domain forwards here for now. Thanks.
"Throughout the world, only three countries currently have about one dozen (12) child offenders in total serving life without parole sentences. Given these figures, the United States has condemned 185 times as many youth to a lifetime behind bars as the rest of the world combined" - Human Rights Watch "Proposal to Establish a National Coalition for Fair Sentencing of Children"
JuvenileLifers.org is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the well over 2,000 juveniles across the country who are serving sentences of life without parole. Our purpose is to educate the public and legislators and to reach out to juveniles and their families. We seek to enact change. Our goal is for juveniles, those who were sentenced as juveniles, or who were sentenced for crimes committed as juveniles, who are already serving life without parole (LWOP) to be resentenced to a sentence bearing the possibility of parole, allowing for the opportunity to rehabilitate our youth as opposed to simply disposing of them into the adult prison system; and to prevent future juvenile offenders from being sentenced to LWOP.
In Roper V. Simmons, a landmark case which ruled it is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to the death penalty, it was noted that LWOP is a similarly harsh sentence. Sentencing a juvenile to LWOP is, in all reality, no different than sentencing them to death, as life without parole means they will die in prison.
