    Wrongful convictions are never a good thing. So many of them happen all of the time and we are unaware of it. It is definitely something that is preventable but not always completely preventable. There is still always a possibility for it to occur.

    My heart hurts for people who are wrongly incarcerated. After they are released it isn't enough to apologize or give them large amounts of money. There are no transitional programs to reintegrate them into society. It's usually up to local organizations to help people get back on their feet.

    Wrongful incarceration is a really big deal in our country. Black men and women especially are being incarcerated at higher rates due to petty crimes or crimes they didn't even commit and I think that really needs to be fixed.
