SUMMARY:Inaugural National LWOP Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:Did you know what “life without parole” really means in America?  \nExtreme sentencing operates under the belief that human transformation is impossible – keeping people in prison for 30\, 40\, or 50 years without a single opportunity to appear before a parole board. In practice\, it’s death by incarceration. \nBut we believe in human growth\, accountability\, and redemption.  \nOctober 24\, is the inaugural National Life Without Parole Awareness Day. Stand with Drop LWOP New England and over 25 partner organizations nationwide to restore the right to hope.  \nAccess the National LWOP Awareness Day Social Media Toolkit & Media Assets
