Adopt a Juvenile

Colorado has approximately 50 young men and women who were sentenced as

children to life without parole. They desperately need mentors. Some

churches have "adopted" our LWOPS.

They:

--write letters, send birthday cards, keep them connected with the outside

world.

--Send money for education and ordinary needs such as toiletries, extra food, medical visits, etc. (Remember, the average prisoner makes $12 a month.)

--email legislators during legislative session in support of positive legislation.

--Make a monthly donation to The Pendulum Foundation, in order to provide education scholarships for those inside.

--Ask local and regional pastors to take a public stand against juvenile incarceration.

--Show the award-winning documentary, Juvies, about California kids in adult prisons, as a fundraising, consciousness-raising event.

--Reach out to victims' families through restorative justice or grief recovery programs.
