Children as young as 11 at the time of the crime have faced life imprisonment without parole in the USA – the only country in the world to impose this sentence on children. This report illustrates the issue through the stories of three people - Jacqueline Montanez, David Young and Christi Cheramie.

In the USA, life without parole can be imposed on juvenile offenders as a mandatory punishment – without consideration of mitigating factors such as history of abuse or trauma, degree of involvement in the crime, mental health status or amenability to rehabilitation.
