This series made room for voices that are too often silenced — people who were wrongfully convicted and lost decades of their lives to prison. It’s work we believe in deeply.

We’re proud to have partnered with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project and grateful for the support of Marrone Law Firm, whose sponsorship helped make this series possible. We are also grateful to William Bailey, Lance Felder, William Johnson, and John Miller for sharing their stories with us.
