Exonerated Death Row Prisoners

I have had the opportunity to photograph a number of people who have spent time on death row, but were found innocent and released. It is a horrifying idea that someone could be sentenced to death for a crime they did not commit. Meeting them and hearing the stories of these men who were saved
