Members of the group Coalition to Abolish Death By Incarceration (CADBI) gathered on the step of the Capitol in Harrisburg on Tuesday to call for an end of life sentences without the possibility of parole in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Participants included the West Philadelphia-based Human Rights Coalition and a host of others who traveled to Harrisburg to support HB 2135, which was introduced by Rep. Jason Dawkins. The bill would make those sentenced to life eligible for parole in 15 years of serving.
