I am passionately opposed to the imposition of death in prison sentences for children, which is what juvenile life without parole means. In Michigan alone, there are over 300 prisoners sentenced before the age of 17. The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world to allow this practice, which is banned by the United Nations Convention of Human Rights. I additionally support the elimination of life sentences for adults; most other nations in the world do not sentence people to prison for natural life.
