John,
Fifty years ago, the United States embarked on a path of mass incarceration that created a staggering increase in the prison population made possible, in part, by lengthening prison terms and expanding the use of life without parole (LWOP). Today, 55,000 people are serving LWOP sentences.
Please join The Sentencing Project for a discussion on March 14 from 2-3pm to learn more about the origins of LWOP and its transformation from a rarely imposed punishment to a starkly common sentence today.
