  • Vital Work

    This podcast makes clear that even after wrongfully convicted people serve time for crimes they didn’t commit, their punishments continue in the outside world. Hoping not only for the presidential pardon of these men of incredible intregity, but for all of those who have suffered similar fates. Thank you for this work!

  • This podcast is great!

    I’m not too sure why this podcast is not more well known. It is an incredibly heartbreaking story, and more people need to be aware of it. I truly hope these men are able to live a comfortable life filled with love and joy.
