The beginning of true criminal justice reform looks just like this. Forgiveness and mercy can go a long way. So why is this such a rare event?

Must Listen: @WrongConviction has a special edition that you simply must hear: "Un-Making A Murderer", an interview w/ Brendan Dassey and the inimitable @LauraNirider
One of the most powerful podcast episodes I've heard in some time. #CJReform

Wonderful time at @CA_Innocence#XONR8 GALA 2019!!! Such a beautiful night! Once a year CIP celebrates Innocence & highlights their work exonerating the innocent from California prisons. Alan Gimenez spent 24 yrs wrongly incarcerated.

Great way to end #WrongfulConvictionDay
These two rugrats made their way to Sacramento to encourage @GavinNewsom to grant clemency. You can do it from home today by sending a letter! Joann Parks has been asking for clemency since 2013. She needs help!

#WrongfulConvictionDay#XONR8
The true perpetrator in Horace Roberts' case showed up at Horace's parole hearings to keep him in prison wrongfully for over 20 years. 😤
Despite this, he maintained a positive attitude! 😁
Today is the anniversary of his conviction getting reversed! 😎
#WrongfulConvictionDay
This year marks our 20th anniversary. In those 20 years we've freed 30 wrongfully convicted people. We have never taken a single penny from any client for our services. Consider supporting our work today #XONR8#WrongfulConvictionDay

Together we are #WrongfulConvictionDay
"It was four years before I was able to have physical contact with family or friends, and my mom was the first person I was able to hug from the outside world. That was certainly a precious hug." - Uriah Courtney, 8 years served https://t.co/BL7ukKZX8U
#WrongfulConvictionDay
So much has gone into JoAnn Parks case it is difficult to tweet. @CA_Innocence Staff Attorney @RCohenLaw has put years of her life advocating for JoAnn, Pulitzer Prize winning author @edwardhumes has written THE book it - and yet JoAnn remains incarcerated #WrongfulConvictionDay
Huge thank you to every one of you who was part of #WrongfulConvictionDay#TwitterTakeover today! Keep using your voice throughout the day and beyond!
