Despite the increase in the numbers of the life without parole (LWOP) and older inmate populations incarcerated in the United States, there has been little scholarly attention focused on older LWOP inmates. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, the purpose of this research was to explore the correctional experiences of older male inmates who were serving LWOP sentences. The following areas were explored: social networks, institutional misconduct, victimization, physical and mental health, perceptions of death and dying, and expectations of release. Using linear and logistic regression, the quantitative component of this research consisted of a series of analyses that compared older male LWOP inmates to two reference groups: younger male LWOP inmates and older male inmates who were serving sentences other than LWOP. Significant differences were found in the following areas: social networks, institutional misconduct, physical health, mental health, and expectations of release. The qualitative data were derived from in-depth interviews conducted with 25 older male LWOP inmates in a Mid-Atlantic State. Qualitative data add insight and expand upon the quantitative findings by examining the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes of respondents. It appears that the majority respondents had adjusted to confinement; however, they remained hopeful of release. A discussion of policy recommendations designed for older inmates, including older LWOP inmates, is also included.
