SUPPORT OUR CALL FOR EQUAL JUSTICE IN SENTENCING IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Issue
We want to end unfair and illegal sentencing of people to life without parole/death by incarceration in Pennsylvania. This sentence is not supported by legal statute, which means that the state has no right to enact it upon people. Yet, over 5,400 people are currently condemned to this sentence in PA. Half are from Philadelphia alone. 70 percent are people of color. We want the sentence of LWOP/DBI to be replaced by a sentencing scheme that represents equal justice and second chances.
