5280.com posted a nice piece on Colorado’s move toward restorative justice alternatives for juveniles yesterday:
“Gov. Bill Ritter took a step forward today in the movement to become smart about crime, rather than just tough on crime. He signed into law a bill that grants judges the option of ordering juvenile offenders to meet with their victims and perform community service, rather than be incarcerated in detention facilities”

To sentence a child to life in prison without any chance of parole is both cruel and inhuman. It is hard to believe that this is still happining in 2008 in a christian country. That one mistake in childhood can condemn someone to such an awful fate makes all of us guilty if we do nothing.
