LA Times Op-Ed by Elizabeth Calvin: Growing up behind bars

On Monday, January 13, 2014, the LA Times ran an Op-Ed by Elizabeth Calvin, Senior Advocate in HRW’s Children’s Rights Division. It is about the first juvenile life without parole case to receive a new sentence under SB 9, the bill that so many of our Southern California supporters worked tirelessly to pass into law. Edel Gonzalez is an incredible example of why this law is so important.
