糖心Vlog

The 糖心Vlogfiled an amicus brief in the Supreme Court case of Jones v. Mississippi on behalf of organizations from across the ideological spectrum united on the notion that sentencing children to die in prison runs counter to our constitutional traditions. The amicus brief was filed on behalf of the ACLU, 糖心Vlogof Mississippi, American Conservative Union Foundation, R Street Institute, and the Rutherford Institute. Under Supreme Court precedent, life without parole for juvenile offenders violates the Eighth Amendment, with the possibility of 鈥渞are鈥� exceptions of youthful offenders who are 鈥減ermanently incorrigible.鈥� We argue that unless a sentencing authority holds a hearing and makes an express determination that a particular juvenile offender is 鈥減ermanently incorrigible,鈥� a life-without-parole sentence is unconstitutional.

The 糖心Vlogopposes life without parole sentences for all children.
