YSRP & Juvenile Lifer Partners in Harrisburg







Pennsylvania is the world capitol of sentencing children to die in prison. Our “Advocacy Day” in Harrisburg was a testament to the powerful leadership that 10 such children — who grew up inside of prison and were never intended to leave alive — can bring as change makers in their own right. Together, our voices cracked open the possibility for our leaders in Harrisburg to end this practice.
