The Equal Justice Initiative is seeking to abolish the sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for children and young teenagers. Unless changed, hundreds of children sentenced for felonies committed when they were 14, 15 or 16 will spend the rest of their lives in prison. SRZ is helping EJI argue that the reasoning in a recent Supreme Court decision declaring it unconstitutional to impose capital punishment on adolescents who committed capital crimes while they were under 18 should also apply to life-without-parole sentences. A small army of SRZ associates is collecting examples of state laws in other contexts that treat 13- and 14-year-olds differently from those 17 and over.
