Juvenile Life Without Parole Advocacy Project

2009 - 2010, 2014 - 2016

To support advocacy and litigation that builds on recent success in limiting juvenile life without parole sentences. This grant enables the JLC to frame legal arguments for the field that will support new Eighth Amendment challenges to life without parole or extremely long sentences in felony murder and murder cases and transfers to the adult criminal system. JLC seeks to ensure that the criminal justice system is aligned with principles of adolescent development, honors human rights, and gives youth access to education, physical and behavioral health care and other supports they need to become productive adults.
