At just 17 years old, Brandon Harrington was incarcerated in Michigan and sentenced to multiple decades in prison. Today, Brandon is embracing his freedom by working to help young people in his community while contributing to society as a commercial truck driver.
Brandon's story is not unique, and without legal action in Michigan, we are denying an opportunity for redemption to others like him who seek to repair the mistakes they made before even reaching adulthood. In 2023, Michigan lawmakers have the chance to end life without parole sentences for children and ensure that no child is sentenced to die behind bars. You can learn more at cfsy.org!
The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth (CFSY) is a national nonprofit that leads efforts to ban life without parole and other extreme sentences for children. The CFSY is an equity-driven organization that explicitly works to dismantle the racial disparities, social injustices, and residual harms caused by the legal system. Through partnerships with advocacy organizations, businesses, and other stakeholders, the CFSY supports survivors of youth violence, those incarcerated as children who are still serving or have been released, and their respective families and communities.
