THE FACTS OF LIFE SENTENCES
1 IN 7 PEOPLE IN PRISON IS SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE

The unprecedented growth of life sentences in the United States runs counter to declining crime rates and growing challenges to mass incarceration. The overwhelming majority of individuals who commit crime—even serious crime—will “age out” of criminal behavior, and their continued incarceration diminishes returns on public safety. This is both wasteful and inhumane. To provide a better approach to advancing public safety, sentencing policies in the United States should be capped at a maximum of 20 years in prison, except in circumstances in which the individual still represents a clear threat to public safety.
