John —

Reading and writing have been powerful outlets for so many wrongly incarcerated people, and in honor of World Poetry Day this weekend, we wanted to highlight some of our clients and wrongly convicted poets — like Termaine Hicks.

As a teen, Termaine was inspired by rappers like Tupac, LL Cool J, and Doug E. Fresh, and would write his own bars and lyrics for fun. During his 19 years of wrongful conviction, he became a prolific writer, penning 12 plays and countless poems.

“Writing — through my whole entire time that I was incarcerated — helped me to escape the reality I was stuck in,” said Termaine.
