Host Intro:
Each year, nationwide thousands of children are being held in jails and prisons
across the United States. More than 3,000 of these children have life sentences in
prison without parole and will never see life out side prison again. Children as young
as 13 are being tried as adults for similar crimes and are sentenced to die in prison,
without the consideration of their ages. Many people believe that at age 13 or 16
your decisions are not as mature as an adults in the same situation. Kean University
student, Lena Johnson agrees with the unfair treatment children at a young age
must deal with.
