Juvenile lifers are prisoners who received mandatory life without parole sentences when they were juveniles. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that these sentences were unconstitutional five years ago. Since that time only 19% of the juvenile lifers have been resentenced. Erma Henderson Memorial Park, June 18, 2017.
