Slang for Life Without Parole (or Death) Sentence. All other sentences have some type of number on it (as in timeline) as you would have a release date. Letters mean you don’t have a release date and you will die in prison or jail.

Referenced by Larry Lawton a well known after prison YouTuber.

Jake: I got life without parole.
Larry: Damn you got letters! You never getting out!

Get the Letters mug.

letter

(1) A singular character from the Latin alphabet used to represent one sound used in speech.
If you're literate, this should be common knowledge.

(2) An envelope containing a written message in it, which is usually delivered to friends and family.
But hardly anyone does that anymore in the 2020s. 🤷

--- example ---

𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗲𝗹 : "Hey, Frederick! I sent you a letter last Friday. Did you read it?"
𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 : "That's incredibly ironic coming from a 16 year-old like you."
𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗲𝗹 : "It is?"
