# HB 1182 Summary South Dakota currently sentences some inmates to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, even if they committed their crimes before age 21. This bill would allow those inmates to petition for parole and have their cases reviewed, rather than serving life sentences without any chance for release. The change recognizes that people convicted as juveniles may deserve a second look at their sentences.
