It is often amazing the lengths the system will go to to avoid doing the right thing for the #wrongfullyconvicted. But finally, after years of delay because there was no budget for it, #exonerees in Georgia are now starting to receive their compensation.

One of the biggest challenges for those #wrongfullyconvicted when they are released is adapting to a world which has in many cases been changed radically by technology. A group of #exonerees has a unique solution -- creation of an app to address it.

Data from NRE is being used in the #Florida legislature with a bill that may finally help the #wrongfullyconvicted in the state receive compensation. Of the 91 Florida #exonerees in the NRE database, just five to date have been compensated by the state.

With the 43 clients that OIP has freed, the collective toll of what has been endured by so many is never far from mind within our staff. This collection of interviews of recent #exonerees by the Innocence Project helps bring home that same reality.

“We’re asking the Attorney General of #Missouri to stop acting like innocence doesn’t matter.” It was a powerful gathering of four men, speaking up for Marcellus Williams. All four are #exonerees once on #deathrow.

Who are these people? They were the #wrongfullyconvicted recognized at this weekend's #Innocence Network conference in #NewOrleans, annually the largest gatherings of #exonerees in the world. More than 6,600 years of #wrongfulimprisonment were represented on the stage.
BREAKING: If #Chicago settles with #exonerees tied to ex-#CPD Sgt. Ronald Watts, city taxpayers could pay $80 million, @WBEZ finds from crunching years of reversed-conviction payouts. If the lawsuits instead go to juries, the cost could be > $230 million. https://t.co/urXIAZfqX1
1/2 Today is International #WrongfulConviction Day.
One wrongfully convicted person is an indictment of the entire justice system. My bill — which centers on the needs of #exonerees closest to the pain — would provide compensation to individuals wrongfully convicted.

Panelists also talked about the change they’ve inspired under the #TimothyColeAct, which increases compensation for #exonerees in #Texas. The #TimCole Advisory Panel on #WrongfulConvictions also exists now, which studies the prevention of people who are #wrongfullyincarcerated.
They called him the "Texas Tech Rapist" but Timothy Cole, a Black man, was wrongfully convicted in 1986. 35 years later, his family speaks out about his exoneration at the law school. KLBK's @ElizabethFitzTV has more on how they're advocating for change.

Had the best conversations, and made the best memories with my pal Jason Strong. Together we have spent almost 30 years innocent in prison. To talk to another exoneree on these levels was needed. Had a blast this weekend enjoying our freedom!!!

Yesterday, I released the attached statement on my legislation compensating Pennsylvanians whose liberty was stolen. I’m proud PA #exonerees have helped me strengthen this bill over the years.

Went from nowhere to somewhere spending 32 years in prison as an innocent man, #DarrellJones/ fellow #exonerees are out now & in the name of freedom, we are celebrating those already out #exonerated. Now, let’s reach back in to get more #innocents out @InnocenceNtwrk @pdrunnermom
#Innocents and #exonerees are not creation of the mind but a sad and strong reality of the #justice system in the #USA These people are the faces of injustice
For me this is always the most powerful part of the #innocenceconference Over 200 exonerees present being recognized for spending a collective 6,030 years in prison for crimes the did not commit. Let that sink in. Their resilience and faith is inspiring.
How are #exonerees welcomed back into society? At #UnitedKingdomChurch, it's a celebration! On the next #DetroitBlackChurchABJ, Producer @AJWalkerNews takes us inside the church's #exonerated celebration to see what it's all about. Tune in 1/25 at 7:30p ET on @detroitpublictv.
