This legislation extends parole review to young people sentenced to natural life in prison; this ensures no children 17 and younger can receive a life without parole sentence. Public Act 102-1128 builds on the 2019 Youthful Parole Law, which created the first new parole opportunities in Illinois since our state abolished parole in 1978. These Illinois laws also make our state a leader in sentencing reform by recognizing young people\u2019s brain development and ensuring most people 18-20 are parole-eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n                    \n                    <div class=\"flex items-center pt-4\">\n                        \n                                                    <a\n  class=\"btn bg-red hover:bg-plum text-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restorejustice.org\/issues\/sentencing\/juvenile-life-without-parole\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Read More About Juvenile Life Without Parole (JLWOP)\">\n  Read More About Juvenile Life Without Parole (JLWOP)\n      <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fill-current ml-2 mb-px\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" viewBox=\"0 0 15 15\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4.37437 0H13.3744C13.9267 0 14.3744 0.447715 14.3744 1V10C14.3744 10.5523 13.9267 11 13.3744 11C12.8221 11 12.3744 10.5523 12.3744 10V3.41421L1.70711 14.0815C1.31658 14.472 0.683417 14.472 0.292893 14.0815C-0.0976311 13.691 -0.0976311 13.0578 0.292893 12.6673L10.9602 2H4.37437C3.82208 2 3.37437 1.55228 3.37437 1C3.37437 0.447715 3.82208 0 4.37437 0Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>  <\/a>\n                        \n                        \n                                                <div class=\"ml-7\">\n                            <a\n  href=https:\/\/www.restorejustice.org\/learn\/why-parole-matters\/ target=_self title=Why Parole Matters\n  class=\"underline underline-offset-6 text-xl font-normal decoration-2 relative uppercase font-heading tracking-wider group hover:no-underline group-hover:no-underline link-underline hover:bg-link-hover group-hover:bg-link-hover text-red group-hover:text-red btn-link\"\n>\n\n  <span\n    class=\"transition-colors duration-100 text-black-brand group-hover:text-current\">Why Parole Matters<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","legislative-impact-cat":[],"custom-author":[],"class_list":["post-1505","legislative-impact","type-legislative-impact","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Abolished Life Without Parole For Children &amp;
