Life Sentences Without Parole: too cruel to the young
Constitutional Connection:
Amendment VIII, Bill of Rights
"...nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
According to this article, a new law has been pushed that deals with juveniles and there punishments. Those who commit a crime other then murder are to be sentenced to life in prison without parole. As the Supreme Court has ruled recently this type of solution is against the Constitution and the eighth amendment.
This article clearly demonstrates an obstruction of the eight amendment of the bill of rights. This amendment allows those who commit a crime in America not to be punished cruelly or unusually. This idea of sentencing juveniles to life in prison clearly is against the US Constitution. Without this Amendment the country throughout history would have been truly corrupt.
From my point of view I believe that this type of punishment is truly against the Constitution and should have never been considered any wear in legislation. For a young man or women to be held in prison for the rest of their lives, without parole, for something they might have done mistakenly once is just corrupt. I agree that they should have decent type of punishment inflicted upon them, but nothing too severe like this. Obstructing the eight amendment is not the way to execute punishment in American and i feel what this idea is trying to do is misguided.
