BobL BS: Sentencing children to die in prison (68* d) RE: BS: Sentencing children to die in prison 18 Sep 17


What I find disturbing about the report is that the expression "sentenced to die in prison" is consistently used to describe a life sentence without parole. Personally, I find such use of loaded expressions makes it more difficult to judge an argument on its merits.

More to the point though, the report was published in January 2008 - nearly 10 years ago. I understand (thank you, Wiki) that in the USA, automatic life sentences without parole are no longer imposed on minors. So it would appear that the EJI's campaign was successful.
