Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch today released the first national report examining the practice of trying children as adults and sentencing them to life without the possibility of parole (LWOP). The 157-page report, The Rest of Their Lives: Life without Parole for Child Offenders in the United States, found that despite a significant drop in the youth murder rate, the rate at which child offenders are being sentenced to life without the possibility of parole is rising at an alarming pace.
