The latest from The Innocence Project… 

When I was 17, I spent a week in a jail cell in Victorville, CA. It wasn’t pleasant. The cell was small. The meals were bad and skimpy. The treatment was denigrating. But the worst part was knowing that I could not leave. I promised myself that I would remember how that felt. And I did. And I remembered what I told myself then: Whatever it takes, don’t go back!

It seeded in my gut a respect for the serious punishment that incarceration is. And, more importantly, the awareness that putting an innocent person in jail is a terrible injustice, one that should not be taken lightly. As a result, I’ve always been inclined to support efforts to free unfairly imprisoned people. Thus, my ongoing support for The Innocence Project and similar non-profit programs.
