Our Mission
A sentence of life
without the possibility of parole is a death sentence. Worse, it is a long,
slow, dissipating death sentence without any of the legal or administrative
safeguards rightly awarded to those condemned to the traditional forms of
execution. It exposes our society’s concealed beliefs that redemption and
personal transformation are not possible for all human beings, and that it
is reasonable and just to forever define an individual by his worst act.
Life without the possibility of parole is wrong and should be abolished.
ATTENTION
FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF LIFE WITHOUT The Other Death Penalty Project’s immediate goals are to raise awareness of the basic unfairness of the life without parole sentence and to organize the tens of thousands of men and women serving “the other death penalty.” Our ultimate goal is to see the permanent end to the use of this form of state-sanctioned execution (along with all other forms), resulting in all life term prisoners having, at least, the possibility of parole. The Other Death Penalty Project is led and comprised solely of prisoners serving life without the possibility of parole. We are thankful to those free people who have offered us their invaluable help.
THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE (LWOP) PRISONERS: The Other Death Penalty Project is forming a nationwide strategy to organize all LWOP prisoners to end this “other death penalty.” This project is conducted by LWOP prisoners with the help of their families and friends in the free world. If your incarcerated loved one would like to become involved in this important work, please click here to add them to our growing database. Project materials will be mailed directly to them. Your incarcerated friend or family member can also contact us directly at the following address:
