The United States is one of the only countries in the
world that allows children under 18 to be sentenced
to life without parole. Human Rights Watch and
Amnesty International report that more than 2,000
inmates are currently serving life without parole in the
United States for crimes committed when they were
juveniles; in the rest of the world, there are only 12
juveniles serving the same sentence, according to
figures reported to the United Nations' Convention on
the Rights of the Child. In When Kids Get Life,
FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (The O.J. Verdict,
Innocence Lost) travels to Colorado to profile five
individuals sentenced to life without parole as
juveniles. See video
