A debate has now occurred for many years that deals with the issue of sentencing teens that have committed serious crimes such as murder and robbery.

Most juveniles and teenagers do not have enough maturity to survive in the adult prison system, and recent brain development research shows us that teenagers brains are not even close to being finished developing. Therefore, teenagers and youth under the age of eighteen should
