Default Court considers sentencing of young offenders

WASHINGTON – Though it may be decades, Joe Harris Sullivan is waiting to die in prison for a crime he committed at age 13, one of thousands of children who have been sentenced to life terms without parole in the United States.
The Supreme Court on Monday announced that it will decide whether sentencing juveniles to spend the rest of their lives in prison without hope of ever being released can be considered a cruel and unusual punishment.

Default Re: Court considers sentencing of young offenders

The story is an interesting read. How can we as a society justify life with out parole for a 13 year old?
