Yes. And not only life sentences, but life sentences without the possibility of parole. For minors.

We are literally the only country that does it. It is a heinous and barbaric practice. And, like all of our mass incarceration system, is it vastly disproportionatly applied to Black children. We are a backwards country in many, many ways.
