New Drop LWOP Coalition Resentencing Guide for people serving life without parole (LWOP). More than 5,000 people are serving life without the possibility of parole (LWOP) in California, a sentence that has been deemed "death by incarceration" by those living it, as well as many expert organizations and the United Nations. LWOP sentences are designed to be permanent. However, California's evolving approach to criminal justice has created several potential paths to resentencing for people with LWOP sentences. This guide explains these options in clear, accessible language for incarcerated people and their loved ones. No path guarantees success, but understanding the full range of options increases the chances of finding relief. This guide will help you identify which paths might apply to your specific situation, what documentation you'll need, and how to navigate the legal process effectively.
