Series 1: 5. A Second Chance
For years, Philadelphia led America in sentencing juveniles to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Krasner and his team want to end a cycle of lifetime imprisonment that destroys lives and families. \n\nThey must evaluate each case carefully, recommending new and sometimes more lenient sentences that will give those imprisoned for committing serious crimes a second chance. \n\nThe complexities of bringing change are seen through a meeting with the parents of Sultan Ahmad Jr, who was killed as a teenager in 1992. The person who killed their son, Joseph Chamberlain, will soon be released.
