The cases contributing to this statistic are as diverse as they are disturbing. Some minors were charged with homicide during robberies, others with complicity in crimes where they didn’t even use a weapon. In most cases, they come from communities marked by poverty, neglect, structural racism, and domestic violence.

One of the most emblematic examples is that of Lionel Tate, arrested at age 12 for the death of a 6-year-old girl during a simulated wrestling match. Although his sentence was later reviewed, his case sparked a debate about the trial and punishment of minors as adults.

Life sentences for children violate the most basic principles of justice and children’s rights,” says Juan Méndez, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Torture. “These minors have not yet fully developed emotionally, mentally, or morally. Subjecting them to a lifetime of imprisonment is tantamount to denying them any possibility of redemption or rehabilitation.”

In contrast, judicial authorities in several states argue that certain actions, even if committed by minors, have such serious consequences that they merit the maximum penalties. States like Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania top the list of states with the most children sentenced to life imprisonment.
