A House Judiciary Comm hearing about #SB1008 on youth sentencing reform is just beginning. We'll be tweeting throughout the hearing. #orpol
What does #SB1008 do? 1. Allows judges to decide whether youth “aging out” of OYA custody at 25 who will complete their sentence by their 27th birthday should serve the rest of their sentence under community supervision rather than in adult prison. #orpol
2. Ends life without parole sentences for youth with a meaningful opportunity for release after 15 years. #orpol #jlwop
