How many of the 358 were rich? Prison is for the poor, is the ameriKKKan way of justice.

Sadly, I believe you're right. : (

Way too many! On t.v. it's all about finding the true perpetrator. But too often in real life it's all about just getting a conviction so somebody can feel good or look good.

I knew a couple of grad students in KY who worked on the innocence project and they thought about 10% of inmates on death row were innocent of the capital charges

Awesome that they are working for the IP. 10% unbelievable. The country has to do something about this. It's a human rights violation. One reason why think no one, even felons, should lose their right to vote.

A lot. Prosecutorial misconduct is a serious problem.

So many. One of my cousins works for The Innocence Project in Ohio and he firmly believes that at least 5% of the prison population is at least innocent of the crime for which they are serving time.

I am glad they have this option now

That's awesome that your cousin works for IP. 5% Oh gosh 😟
