Do juvenile offenders change, or do they graduate to adult offenders? The Eighth Amendment regulates the length of sentencing for juveniles. The amendment bans cruel and unusual punishment for juvenile offenders (Russel, 2014). Unlike adults, Juveniles are capable of changing for the better. Russell (2014) argues that when the court denies juvenile offenders parole, it denies the offenders an opportunity for change. The Eighth Amendment requires that an offender gets a meaningful opportunity for release which involves the following; a chance of release at a meaningful point in time, rehabilitated prisoner must have a realistic likelihood for release and parole board must offer an opportunity to hear from the individual ( Russell, 2014). The three components serve as a guideline for ensuring that juvenile offenders do not serve life sentences without parole. In my opinion, allowing parole after 40 years is a long time. It denies the offender a meaningful opportunity for release, given that they are juveniles. I believe that allowing parole after 15 years is not a short period as it offers adequate time for the offender to…
