According to the program, The United States is one of the only countries in the world that allows children under 18 to be sentenced to life without parole. An attorney and author, When A Child Kills, Paul Mones said that American’s law for juveniles typically don’t care about the liberation of teenager’s and don’t care about giving teenager any hope so that those teenagers are damped.
Human Right International report that in 1992 U.S had 400 inmates sentenced to life without parole, but today, more than 2,000inmates are serving life without parole. The sentences have reserved only for the most hardened criminals, yet most are not hardened criminals. Some teenagers in prison said that they have no concept and there is no reason to live, just look for something.
I think that American’s laws for juveniles should be changed, though it’s very hard to say, because we have the lows to save peace of society. However, as far the Jacob’s case, I think he is not only the murder, but also victim. If people around him would have treated him different way, he wouldn’t have been murder. Killing someone should never be allowed, and if do that, of course it deserves severe punishment, but we should look at not only acting of crime, but also the background of the crime, and I think that in some case of 2,000 inmates, we might use the law in different way.
