To All Those Who Would End Juvenile Life Without Parole

TO ALL THOSE WHO WOULD END JUVENILE LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE

HR4300 would effectively end juvenile life without parole in the entire United States of America. HR4300 is the most important legislation we could ever support. A step in any direction where prison reform is concerned accelerates all other reform, so please dedicate your efforts to this important national legislation.

The United States is the only nation on earth that sentences its children to life without parole (LWOP). We have nearly 2500 children sentenced to die in prison, including some as young as 13. Children are NOT adults. All studies show that teen’s brains are not fully developed, and that they do not have the maturity to always make rational, reasoned decisions. The United States’ Supreme Court stated that children should not be held to the same level of culpability as adults.


HR4300 would give children sentenced to life the opportunity for parole once in 15 years.
