The United States, one of the countries with the highest number of incarcerated people in the world,<\/p>\n
faces a reality that has generated controversy,<\/p>\n
international criticism, and profound reflection on its judicial system: at least 79 minors under the age of 14 are<\/p>\n
serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n
The figure, revealed by human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and the Equal Justice Initiative,<\/p>\n
has sparked debate about juvenile justice and the moral limits of criminal punishment in the United States.<\/p>\n
The cases contributing to this statistic are as diverse as they are disturbing. Some minors were charged with homicide during robberies,<\/p>\n
others with complicity in crimes where they didn\u2019t even use a weapon.<\/p>\n
In most cases, they come from communities marked by poverty, neglect, structural racism, and domestic violence.<\/p>\n
One of the most emblematic examples is that of Lionel Tate,<\/p>\n
arrested at age 12 for the death of a 6-year-old girl during a simulated wrestling match. Although his sentence was later reviewed,<\/p>\n
his case sparked a debate about the trial and punishment of minors as adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
