As teens, these men could have been sentenced to life without parole. Instead, they got a second chance.
"The best thing I can do now to make up for what I have done, especially to my victim…is to give back to the community." What does second chance mean? Listen to four men, now in their late 30s and 40s, describe how they were convicted of murder as teens and could have faced life without parole sentences. Instead, they each got a parole-eligible sentence. They spent a long time in prison, earned parole, and now are out and helping their communities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbdFmj4oQtE Watch this short, powerful video and pass it on!
