Life Without Parole (LWOP)

Life Without Parole (LWOP) is a prison sentence where the convicted individual is not eligible for parole and must spend the rest of their life in prison. This sentence is often reserved for the most serious crimes, such as first-degree murder, and ensures that the inmate will not have the opportunity to re-enter society.
