Based on the excerpt from Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson that states that hundreds of thousands of nonviolent offenders have been forced to spend decades in prison, the sentence that best states the main idea in this excerpt is A. Life sentences should not be given to nonviolent offenders.

This refers to the term that is used to describe and define the central message that an author wants to convey in his text or speech to a group of persons and this is also known as a theme.

Hence, it can be seen that the given text by Bryan Stevenson talks about changes in legislation that results in harsher sentences for nonviolent offenders or offenses that can be considered "light" and thus, the main idea of the text is that life sentences should not be given to nonviolent offenders which are found in option A.
