You have read the text “Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" In the article,
one of the affected young people says "If there's anyone who still has a modicum of
redemption left in their life, it's a juvenile" (paragraph 22). In the context of this article,
what does it mean to be grown up? Do you think the juvenile offenders are being
totally treated as if they were adults? Write a well-developed paragraph in which you
cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in
your answer.

Ask yourself, Do juvenile killers deserve life behind bars? Obviously murder is a very serious action and it deserves a very serious punishment. In the article one of the youngsters say, "If there's anyone who still has a modicum of redemption, it's a juvenile." (Paragraph 22). Now what this means is that if anyone is going to learn from their mistakes, it's going to be the younger peaple. To be grown up is to have all the responsibility and ability to be tried as an adult. Juveniles offenders are definitely not being treated as young peaple, they should be in programs that help them strive to be better. If you go to Juvie, they should at least put you in programs and other activities. So therefore, in conclusion to all of the evidence above, Juvenile Killers should not automatically receive life behind bars.
