In Miller V

In Miller v.Alabama, from 2012, the Supreme Court declared that mandatory sentencing of juvenile offenders to life without the possibility of parole constituted:

A) a violation of the Eight Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment.
B) a civil rights violation, since the sentencing was being disproportionality carried out against juveniles of minority status.
C) a constitutionally allowable practice, since the mandatory sentences were cruel, but not unusual, historically speaking.
D) a morally wrong practice, by global standards, and thus unworthy of upholding.
