The Innocence Network (Wrongful Convictions Documentary Marathon) | Real Stories

I can't imagine a more rewarding experience than working for The Innocence Project. They change lives.

Shame on you America 🤔taking 34 years of a man’s life and not even having the decency to compensate him for all he has been through 😢

Innocence Project exoneree Barry Gibbs, sadly died on Friday, March 23, 2018. R.I.P. Barry 🌞

The number of things that can go wrong in life without the person doing anything to cause it, makes me want to stay home and never venture out.

Life is so beautiful, and it's so heartwarming to know there's such amazing people in the world ❤️

‘It can happen to anybody.’ So true.

EVERY state should be forced to provide financial compensation to the wrongfully convicted!!! I think our founding fathers would agree with me!!

Lewis Fogel I am in tears for these INNOCENT men... IDK know how they find the will to keep going- 30 years! Their children are men/women, partners move on, people give up on you yet you can't give up on yourself. His artwork is so beautiful to still be able to see the outside in your mind to be able to paint these pictures so lifelike is definitely talent. CONGRATULATIONS I hope everyday is just as good as the first day you walked out and took that first free breath.

I just love Alan’s brother and his loyal to the end friends. Those are rare and should be treasured

The folks at the Innocence Project are absolute heroes. I cannot imagine being let down by your peers, your neighbors, by your own country as a whole. I’m sure we all think “since I didn't do the crime surely there's no way they will—no way they CAN— convict me of it, right?” Well, folks you would be dead wrong! These people are all proof of that. The breech of trust, the feeling of defeat and hopelessness one must feel when in that situation… I seriously cannot imagine. Being in jail or prison is one of the absolute WORST things that can happen to a person. I seriously don't think people understand the toll that it takes on a person. It changes something in you. It does something to your soul, it does damage that cannot be reversed. It's truly a horrific, horrific experience. I don't think people understand; nor should they. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I've been to jail and it still affects me every single day—and I wasn't even in there for long! Jail should ONLY be reserved for the absolute worst of humanity. It shouldn't be for people we are mad at, it should be for people we are deathly afraid of. Not people who drive on a suspended license, or people who owe money for child support. It also shouldn't be so easy to lock someone up and throw away the key. Barry could be your brother, your father, your son. Barry could be YOU. This could happen to YOU. Let's just think about this for a second, yes Barry is out now. However, he lost a huge chunk of his life that he will never get back. He lost out on years and years and years of working a job and being able to save for retirement, he has no work history. No marketable skills. Important time where one pays money into social security and gains valuable work experience. He lost out on being able to have children, have grandkids, have a wife or a husband. He wasn't able to buy a home during a time where a person working full-time is all it took to be able to afford one. Something needs to give. This should NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. An innocent person should not have to spend their precious years in a cage.

Barry Gibbs what an absolutely amazing man. The strength he had to keep going & make sure that he was heard. Good for you Barry, I know that 9 million will not give you your time back but I hope it's helping to make your life now easy, peaceful, happy & fun.... CONGRATULATIONS you deserve the appreciation this film shows you..... I agree I'm glad this miracle happened to Barry too!

no matter how you feel about legit criminals, this situation should be enough to make anyone conclude that we should not use the death penalty. we still fail to be sure we are sentencing the guilty party.

Glad I had tissues nearby. I feel so greatful for the Innocence Network/Project. I've been watching them for years and love they continue to get innocent people released from prison.

Working for the Innocence Network must be the most rewarding job in the world.

The fact that George had to plead to a crime he didn’t commit not only leaves a conviction on his record but also means the real killer will likely get away with it and the victims family will never see justice after 30 years of injustice. So sad… 💔

to be believed by just one person when no one else wants to listen, oh the joy

💔 It's even more sad that he served his country & this was there way of showing appreciation!!

This is an amazing group. I do believe there are too many innocent people in prison

"Being innocent is not enough" = Travesty of justice! God Bless The Innocence Project and God Bless these men who suffered incomprehensible atrocities at the hands of our "justice" system! Billions wouldn't be enough to compensate for what they have suffered. RIP Barry....I absolutely believe you are in a much better place 💯

The people working in the Innocence project don't work for free, they have heart and soul fulfillment that is so much more worthy than money❤️
