I have just been reminded that not all information exists online, even when it seems like obvious information that should be easily available. How frustrating.
Solution: ask a librarian.
#i fell down the rabbit hole of researching what life without parole means#then i foudn out that the us is the only country in the world currently imprisoning children for life without parole#then i found out the only 28 states have banned this practice - shockingly including my own.#i did not expect this level of decency from my local lawmakers#anyways what i can't find is WHEN or how or why my state banned this practice#and i am desperately curious#my university has a chat line to ask librarians questions and i have emailed them. with citations of the articles that tell me the ban exis#anyways librarians are great. the chat function is also great because i would never approach a librarian in person unless i was desperate#i am afraid of human interaction#this is the perfect example of how research rabbit holes work#actually even before the life without parole part i was actually researching serial killers.#and before that it was a specific family of serial killers. because my university anthropology department is doing archaeology about them#and emailed me a podcast about that research#and that is where the last 3 hours of my life went#hylian rambles#i still have not answered my initial question about life without parole
