Four exonerees discuss wrongful convictions
The National Registry of Exonerations, an online archive of all known exonerations in the United States, is a collaboration of three universities and is housed in the Newkirk Center for Science & Society in the School of Social Ecology. Some exonerees have begun identifying themselves by their “exoneree number,” a creative way of choosing how to identify themselves after years, and sometimes decades, of being identified by prisoner numbers. This video features four exonerees telling their experiences of wrongful conviction and incarceration and what being listed on the Registry means to them.
