John —

Yesterday was International Literacy Day!

We know that both reading and writing play a huge role in the lives of many incarcerated and wrongly convicted people. Writing is a powerful tool of expression and reflection for many of our clients.

So in celebration of the day, we want to highlight eight exonerees and wrongfully convicted people who took their passion for writing a step further and wrote these incredibly compelling memoirs about their experiences and the inequalities and flaws ingrained in our criminal legal system.

Take a moment today to check out these eight books by wrongly incarcerated people — these are must-reads for anyone interested in criminal justice reform.

With gratitude,

— The Innocence Project Team
