Landis Reynolds was a child, a teenager, when the State unfairly sentenced him to a slow death sentence. Sentencing children to die in prisons across the country made the United States an outlier in the civilized world. Virtually no other Nation in the world forecloses children to die in prison. Thankfully the judicial system has finally caught up to the undisputable science that children brains are not fully formed. Children are incapable of comprehending impacts on victims, potential criminal consequences, and even how their actions may affect others including their own family members. Most reasonable minded people would admit to the incontrovertible truth that children are less culpable. Natural law testifies to such an unassailable fact. Yet legislators, judges, prosecutors, and many others ignore the truth and continue to sentence children harshly. For instance, brain scan imagery has proven that the frontal lobe does not form the synapse connections required for fully matured thinking until after age twenty-five years old. So it is not until one is twenty-six years old that one should be held fully culpable under the law. Nevertheless many States, including Washington, have glossed over that scientific fact. Only extending youthfulness to those close to the archaic age of eighteen. That ancient benchmark was arbitrary. Eighteen years old is not some magical age when minds are mature enough to handle scenarios better. Brain imagery has proven that a falsity. The proper age is twenty-six years old. Therefore Landis wrote a book detailing a new way forward. He has embarked on a mission to educate. To break stereotypes. And refocus the National policy conversations away from demagoguery and towards science based approaches. Landis shares his compelling stories of prison life, rehabilitation, and redemption. While also dreaming for mercy, forgiveness, and freedom. Landis profound episode is one you will not soon forget. Listen to the hidden jewel wrongly warehoused in prison. Perhaps afterwards you will understand how very evil and corrupt the criminal justice system is today.
