Great opinion piece in the NYTimes today about the misuse the life without parole sentence (since I agree). I feel like it is an appropraite sentence as an option to the death penalty, for murder and eggregious crimes, but should be meted out not quite as liberally as perhaps it has been in the last decade. The sentence should match the crime, and not all crimes deam that the person should be locked up with the key thrown away. People change, especially young people.
