WE BELIEVE THAT FOR EVERY YEAR AN EXONEREE WAS JAILED, THEY RECEIVE THE MONEY THAT WOULD HAVE BENEFITTED THEM. THIS WILL HELP INCREASE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING, THE TYPE OF LIVING THEY DESERVED.
WE WANT COMPENSATION IN THE FORM OF PROGRAMS, HOUSING, AND MONEY SO THAT THEY MAY BECOME POSITIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.
WE BELIEVE THAT MONEY COMPENSATION IS VERY NECESSARY BUT NOT THE
ONLY FORM OF COMPENSATION. NECESSITIES INCLUDE JOB PLACEMENT
ASSISTANCE, SKILL TRAINING, COUNSELING, FREE EDUCATION, AND FREE HOUSING.
FREE HOUSING SHOULD BE PROVIDED THE SAME AMOUNT OF YEARS SPENT IN
PRISON. SINCE THEY WERE UNALE TO OBTAIN THESE THINGS AS PRIVATE
CITIZENS, IT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THEM FROM THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK IT AWAY.

WE WANT ALL LAWYERS IN THE CONVICTION OF AN EXONEREE TO BE
SUBJECT TO A BOARD OF REVIEW, MANDATING THAT THEIR ACTION
DURING TRIAL BE SCRUTINIZED TO THE FULLEST.

WE BELIEVE THIS IS THE LEAST BIT OF JUSTICE THAT COULD BE GIVEN TO THE
EXONEREES, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL HEARD AND IMPORTANT IN A
SOCIETY THAT GAVE THEM NO GOOD MEMORIES FOR SO MANY YEARS.
THIS WILL SHOW THAT THEIR SUFFERING IS NOT BEING DISCARDED.

I am so glad to know there are people asking the judicial system actually be a system where justice prevails. Double standards are not just. Why are the people who are taking away the freedom of innocent people not have their competance questioned? How can society expect a person who's had years of productive life stolen from them feel genuine love for a community that doesn't at least investigate the prosecutors' competance, integrity, special interests?
This is such an amazing campaign/idea! I am wishing you the best, and if there's anything I can do to support, I'd love to help. A campaign like this recognizes that no matter how much compensation exists, it takes more than money to build a life outside of a system takes so much away from those who have been under its supervision. There is not enough money to give back those years, but there has to be systems in place to help people return to a non-institutionalized way of life.
