Yodit Tewolde talks to BNC legal contributor Paul Henderson in Joe Ligon, who spent 68 years in prison after he was sentenced to life at age 15.
The 83-year-old has never voted, paid a bill, had a partner or had children. He was incarcerated at Pennsylvania Institution for Defective Delinquents.
Pennsylvania is the state with the most juveniles sentenced to life without parole.
“We have to do a better job. We have to dismantle the system,” Henerson says.
