Re-victims

Plucked off the street and wrongfully rammed into prison for life, this is a terror guaranteed to create injury.

But as innocent prisoners are freed, governments offer little or nothing to compensate for the mistake, a stunning disrespect of fundamental civility.

1. Exonerated inmates often don’t have state help

2. Only 25 states compensate the wrongfully convicted

Merciless pittance cannot cover great shame.
