If Massachusetts can do it, so can our state. 

Massachusetts has banned sentencing young people under 21 to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

We're talking about people whose brains are still developing, who are years away from being deemed mature enough to rent an automobile. This makes it especially absurd and cruel to declare them beyond any possibility of redemption within a so-called "corrections" system.

If young people cannot make corrections, who can?

Our state should be the second state in the country to take this step.

Click here to email your state legislators and governor to get this started.

Has the world's leading imprisoner nation altogether abandoned the thinking that led to the name "Department of Corrections"? Have vengeance, sadism, and profit taken over completely? Or can we make this minimal effort to support the development of good members of society, by merely allowing the possibility that they might someday qualify for parole?

Please ask the government of our state to think about it by clicking here.
