Women Lifer's Resume Project
Voices Behind the Walls
WLRP supports Pennsylvania Women Lifer's who want to share their positive experiences, personal growth, and to assist the women in seeking a second chance.
The Women Lifers Resume Project supports all of the 200 plus women in Pennsylvania who are serving a life without parole sentence (LWOP). Resumes featured on this site are of a voluntary nature and should not be perceived as the only women we support for release. Some women have elected not to participate at this time.

Clemency is Broken
This powerful New York Times Opinion video, “An Unlikely Last Resort for Getting Out of Prison”. explores the deeply flawed clemency system in the United States. Through the lens of documentary filmmakers and legal advocates, it reveals how storytelling has become a last resort for incarcerated individuals seeking justice and mercy. The video underscores the emotional toll and systemic barriers faced by those hoping for a second chance, making it a compelling resource for anyone invested in reform and redemption.
