- In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it is unconstitutional to sentence a juvenile to a mandatory life without parole sentence. This changed everything for Pennsylvania’s juvenile lifer population, who now got a second chance at freedom. Learn about the more than 500 juvenile lifers in Pennsylvania’s corrections system and how this ruling changed their lives and led to many of them being released.
In 2008 I wrote and pushed for Higher Education in Prison after leaving prison and entering College at Edinboro University. I hope in some way I helped the men I left behind at SCI Coal Township in some way.
Spending the rest of your life in an institution just sounds crazy to me
Did 7 years, SCI Greene. Crazy place.
Where can I get information about support groups near Philadelphia for juvenile Lifers released on Parole?
I would like to support juvenile lifers and being in involved in an organization!!
Don't forget about programs that focus on mental health and substance addiction as well. Two of the biggest issues in the correctional system today.
Would love to see SCI crescent State institution in PA
Mothers in Charge is committed to helping these men Reunify with family and Community.
6:53 Shout out to my old drug counselor he was the first light skin guy with the glasses, he was my drug counselor in north philly really Great guy, he got his college diploma while on the inside just for something to do and it ended up paying off after he got out.
Prison should be work based from the start. There's to much sitting. The mind gets use to it.
There isn't as much sitting as you may think.
@Daniel Smith facts. Was inmate Sci frackville. You are to work. If you chose not to it goes against you getting parole. People love to talk unless you been in there.
@@j.legacyfambrough3966 facts been there.
Abolish Parole is the best thing we can do in PA. It doesn’t work. It’s a waste of billions of dollars. In a mostly democratic state, you will definitely find, once investigated, that the state of Pennsylvania keep inmates in prison because they’re a steady cash flow for the private sectors and those who invest in these places. Parole need to ‘em and flat sentences should be reinstated.
worst system ever
I really think lifers deserve a second chance. As we all do need second chances!!!
Depends on the circumstances. Never for killing random unknown innocent people. Never for killing kids. Some things don't get a do over
What you are seeing are people who were out of control and had to go to prison to be disciplined. These people need prison to learn discipline.
Victims could not be reached for comment.
Lmfao
That’s al bs prison made me heart less it make u a animal
Listen you know right from wrong at the age of 11 12 13 14 15. don't let these people out on our streets they did a crime they need to pay for it with their life take a life get a life sentence
they may know right from wrong but they are especially wreckless, impulsive, vulnerable to peer pressure and have a far greater capacity to change than adult offenders, so they should not have to spend the rest of their lives in prison
So youre the same person that you were when you were 11 12 13 14 15 years old?
