By interpreting the law wrong, the attorney general & VDOC have kept 'people wrongfully incarcerated for months, if not YEARS, just b/c they wish the law were different,' said ACLU of Virginia's @V_agraharkar.

We're still fighting to bring everyone home.

'It’s the job of the attorney general & DOC to apply the law as it is, not invent an interpretation of the law as they wish it to be,' says ACLU-VA's Vishal Agraharkar.

We are thrilled the Court backed the promise our lawmakers made to people like our client.

is POSSIBILITY.

Being sentenced to life without parole as a teenager didn't stop Angel from getting his GED and acquiring over 30 certificates in prison. Today he advocates for prison reform!

Update: we won, again! And we expect and hope this will lead to many, many people getting the earned sentence credits they rightfully earned and were wrongfully denied. x.com/ACLUVA/status/…
