Should an 11-Year-Old Boy Go to Jail for Life?

“One reason people might find it unconscionable to lock away children forever is that most important brain development doesn't stop until a person's late teens and early twenties. And even then you're still years away from real self-awareness.”

People should be aware that children sentenced to adult prisons spend almost all their time in solitary confinement. By the time they turn 18, they're not fit for anything BUT life in prison. In some civilized nations, solitary confinement, even for adults, is considered torture. In fact, if you or I treated a dog the way these monsters treat our children, WE'D be in prison.
