Juvenile Justice

Al Jazeera America (Television network) (Added Author). Infobase, (film distributor.).

Summary: In this episode we take a look at the issue of juvenile sentencing, and consider two compelling cases in Michigan that raise the question of whether children convicted of murder should be subjected to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A battle is now waging to decide how to sentence juvenile killers, and what to do with the more than 360 juvenile lifers already sentenced to die in the state's prisons. Should a court decide if a child is sentenced to life imprisonment without parole?
