Juveniles Facing Life imprisonment

How, as Americans, do we feel about juveniles being given these sentences for crimes that full short of murder? How do we feel about holding these children in a juvenile prison for the majority of their lives and them transferring them to an adult prison where they are in even more danger of rape and violence as they have not matured properly as a human being?
