In May of 2010, the United States Supreme Court ruled that it is illegal and unconstitutional to sentence a juvenile to life in prison without chance for parole for a non-homicide crime. The case is known as Graham v Florida. It was mandated that all individuals, who had received life sentences for non-homicide crimes, be brought back to court and re-sentenced on a case by case basis and given the opportunity to rehabilitate. The state of Florida has sentenced more juveniles to life than all other states combined. Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the state of Florida has begun the re-sentencing process only to hand out sentences so severe that they hardly differ from the original life sentence. These new sentences violate the Graham ruling and, in turn, violate our Eighth Amendment.
