The Innocent Behind Bars

The United States under our current leadership continues to set new records in the worst way. We lead the world in school shootings, prisoners per capita and deaths from drug overdoses. In 2018 another record was broken: the total time that wrongly convicted prisoners have lost served behind bars. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, a total of 151 people were freed last year after serving time for crimes they did not commit, for a grand total of 1,639 years.
