Ron is an avid reader and says books got him through 30 years of wrongful incarceration, and provided an escape from the four walls of his prison cell.
Ron is now home with his sister, continuing his fight for justice, and enjoying the freedom to read whatever he wants, whenever he wants — and he encourages everyone to do the same.
Reading and writing have been such powerful tools for so many wrongly convicted people. This year, Yusef Salaam, one of the Exonerated Five and an Innocence Project board member, co-authored Punching the Air, a young adult novel about a wrongly convicted teen. Innocence Project supporters get free shipping if they order the book through this link.
The Innocence Project exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. www.innocenceproject.org
