What are juvenile life without parole sentences and how do they relate to recidivism? The word “Discretion” often comes up when we have conversations about JLWP sentences. Who has the discretion to decide if a juvenile ever deserves a sentence of life without parole? Is it the Prosecution? The Judges? The Psychologists? JLWOP is a sentence now reserved for only the most violent and heinous crimes like murder. And the discretion now rests with the judges. We will take an in-depth look at the history and application of these types of sentences and how it could effect the rate of recidivism. We have a conversation with Jacque Wilson, a San Francisco Deputy Public Defender, on these topics and more on Advice from the Inside Out. Special thanks to our graphic artist, Tess Buckley.
