'Investigative journalist
Alison Flowers reports on the harsh conditions faced by newly exonerated prisoners - from the meager financial compensation and institutional support offered by the state, to the psychological toll of years and decades spent locked up - and explains addressing the plight of exonerees requires confronting the larger problem of American mass incarceration itself, and the brutal mechanisms that devalue both human lives and the ideals of justice. Flowers is the author of
Exoneree Diaries: The Fight for Innocence, Independence, and Identity
, available now from Haymarket Books.' --
