There are over two-thousand convicts in the United States serving life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for crimes they committed as juveniles. Vera Frankl reports from Colorado on who decides when children are tried and sentenced as adults. She also delves into the debate on punishing children who commit criminal acts, versus rehabilitating them. |
