Fear is NOT a shared American value.

"Although recidivism rates for homicide offenders are the lowest of any crime, our elected officials continue to lead with fear over compassion when it comes to prison 'lifers.'"

A powerful group of mothers rallied at the State Capitol calling for sentencing reform rooted in growth, healing, and accountability.

Grateful to CA senators who passed SB 672! This bill upholds public safety while aligning CA law with modern understanding of youth and accountability. It is about review, not release. #BeyondLWOP #PassSB672 @SenSusanRubio

[William Hoffmann @WTHoffmann]

@SenBrianJones Incorrect. SB 672 simply expands existing and successful youth offender parole and does not guarantee the release of anyone. Research shows that people who have come home through this process are giving back and making our communities stronger:

[Senator Susan Rubio @SenSusanRubio]

Proud to present my bill #SB672 – the Youth Rehabilitation and Opportunity Act, in Senate Public Safety today. This bill recognizes the importance of redemption, growth, and victims’ voices in a just system. Grateful to the committee for passing it.

The Sentencing Project’s new report reveals the harsh reality of life without parole (LWOP) in the U.S.— Nearly 56,000 people are condemned to die by incarceration. It is time abolish LWOP “which disregard[s] the potential for rehabilitation.”

[Fair and Just Prosecution @fjp_org]

FJP is calling on the MI Supreme Court to find mandatory life without parole sentences for emerging adults unconstitutional. These harsh penalties ignore science & undermine rehabilitation efforts.

Tiny, positive news: As a result of our work, 720 Australian + Brazilian children are better protected from AI misuse. But we have a long, long way to go to protect all kids, everywhere.

We are sad to hear the passing of one of our Speaker's Bureau members, John Czere, who passed away last week. John was an amazing man who loved to talk and share his stories. He was a juvenile LWOP from Louisiana but relocated to Florida. He will truly be missed by his community.

[William Hoffmann @WTHoffmann]

A new case in Wyoming argues that sentencing a 19-year-old to life without parole is unconstitutional. Science shows that the brain keeps developing into the mid-20s. Time for the law to catch up. @BeyondLWOP #EndLWOP https://t.co/WNc31618jI

Life without parole, or “LWOP,” means spending the rest of your life in prison with no chance for release. It's often referred to as the slow death penalty or death by incarceration. To learn how many people in your state are affected by LWOP, visit https://t.co/V2y53DeDFU.
