There are currently 346 inmates in Michigan prisons sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for crimes they committed while they were minor children, according to Human Rights Watch’s most recent data. The total number of inmates sentenced to die in prison for crimes they committed while children in the United States is 2,574, which means Michigan currently imprisons 13.4% of the total number of JLWOP sentencees in the United States even though Michiganders only account for about 3.3% of the total U.S. Population.
