Unjustly imprisoned
Read the stories of the people we help. Ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances, suffering an ongoing injustice every day they remain imprisoned.
Thirty years in, serving life plus 116 years for a sentence handed down when he was 18. He has become a remarkable artist inside.
A Bachelor Degree, a Master's in Theology, and a PhD in Religion, all earned inside. Parole was still denied.
Seven life sentences for non-homicide crimes on a first adult conviction, with no parole eligibility.
Convicted on the word of three jailhouse informants who all received time reductions. No physical evidence tied him to the scene.
A conviction built on unrecorded evidence, an improper Miranda warning, and an eyewitness who could not identify him.
Eighty-one years with no parole, handed to a nineteen-year-old accomplice who has since founded a nonprofit and published a book.
Fifteen to life handed to a seventeen-year-old. Twenty-two years later he is being held indefinitely.
