"without the possiblity" and "without" mean the same thing - that person is never getting out of prison.
If it was "life WITH the possibility of parole" then the person has an opportunity to go in front of the parole board and get out - usually after about 8 years. HTH!

Depending on the inmates attitude and lifestyle being incarcerated, it would be up to the parole commission to grant parole to an inmate that has that particular kind of sentence and chances are, the inmate will do the majority of that sentence since life is 25 years or more. It's a discretion debate. W/O parole, means just that. No parole.

MHGarret is correct.
The two terms mean the same thing. Different states (and different statutes) phrase it differently.
Either way, it means without any option for parole.

They're both similar, because "life without the possibility" means life until the time that some scummy, rotten liberal attorney comes around and finds a way to get a killer out to be free to kill again.
It does, however, make the people who lost their loved one feel better at sentencing, even though it's usually a bald faced lie.

I believe that is the same thing.
And I can't see why anyone would then give me a low rating for this answer. It answers the question, so get a life!

Same thing. Different states, different terminology.
