Just imagine spending so many years in jail when you're innocent and nobody believes you. Sad sad sad.
And there’s prob still many more innocent victims out there in prison holding life sentences smh
Guilty until proven innocent .... bassackwards
in my country its innocent until proven guilty
Yeah well, cops ALWAYS take the easy target. They don't want to bother spending time doing the investigation.
"Because his innocence couldn't be proven". That's the biggest bunch of B.S.
sounds like amongus
For the first time in my life, I thought, “$18 million ain’t shit.”
Especially split btwn 3 people after tax maybe 2 million each
They Shuld Get As Much As Mega Millions Lottery Winners 50-350 million or Something Like That... Free Trips For LIFE.. IDK Something...
Same here...it ain’t
Damn
Wow
With a lot of these cases, you get the feeling the only reason they finally released these men was that they got to the age where they needed a lot of care and medical attention, and releasing them was just cheaper.
Very true unfortunately
I know they do that in uk prisons. If it's terminal,they put them in a hospice. I knew a girl in prison with cancer. She had been offered compassionate leave but chose to stay in prison as she had all her friends there and knew no one out of prison as she had spent 17 years in jail.
This is why I entered the criminal justice field! I want to help people who have endured such injustices. I cannot imagine losing decades of my life to wrongful imprisonment.

I can't even imagine being locked away for 60 years and then being freed into a world that is drastically different.
Ya that would be crazy
It's like being sent to the future.
It happens more often than you think. I spent 4 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit because of a dirty Baltimore City cop and, still to this day, nobody cares. I also spent 2 years in solitary confinement getting out of my cell for 15 minutes per week when I had a choice of a shower or a prepaid call that cost $10 for 5 minutes during which time you have to wear chains. All for someone elses dope in an alley that was 3 blocks away.

Fr I’m suing the hell outta erryone whole did me wrong and tryna get them all put in jail so they see what it’s like
Atomic Umber bet!
Prison definitely is not a great place to be! I did a five-year stent my first time and then a two-year stint, and a 1 year and 3 months sentence. Those days are long gone. I have an uncle that did 27 years straight for a murder charge. Needless to say things were different when he got out then they were when he went in.
*prepares hitman*
Yeah fuck all that mami I just had to come here and say you beautiful 😘
I was actually in county jail with a man that had served over 40 in prison. The part of the video that said a law passed in 2016 that minors couldn't serve life without parole anymore is true. The man I was in jail with was Jason, he was almost 60 and got locked up at 16 and was being released because of that law. I played chess with him and asked him what was the first thing he was going to do when he gets out. He looked at me with a straight face and said," hug a tree". He was a very intelligent man. Never asked why he was in for, although I'm sure it was murder.
@Josh Traffanstedt wouldn’t call murder a “mistake”

If I were wrongly imprisoned for half my life, there's no way I'd cope. I like to think I'd make it but I know I'm not nearly as strong as some of these people. That would be me done.

I've met someone like that in Florida, he was incarcerated since his early 20's and was released in his 60's/70's! He went back to the prison and said I want to come back home. All the family he had passed away so what was out here for him?
So heart breaking 💔
Wow.....
😢
damn now I am sad

I may be wrong but from what I’ve heard is that people who spend long prison sentences like this and then get released all of a sudden don’t live long when they’re released because they’re so use to living in the inside.
$18M is NOT enough! He spent 40yrs in jail for something he didn't do, and I know someone that's serving a life sentence in Louisiana rn and is innocent
Wow that's sad

It's even worse for prisons with a general population. Prisoners are forced to be crowded in a high density population.
I wouldn't be able to move on knowing that I had just spent 65 straight years of my life in prison for somebody's else's "MISTAKE"
Right. Thats such a waste!! These people deserve unlimited money and resources to make the best out of the rest of the life they have left.
There’s a special place in Hell for those involved in purposely stealing the lives of innocent people under the guise of justice.

i agree they target black men ..that is so wrong look how many went to prison for nothing ..for many years most all black men..theh nee to be givdn smillion dollars for each year ..the justice system in the us stinks to much racism everywhere you go over there terrible
I was once detained in a holding cell for a few hours over some kind of mistake and I just about lost it.

How people think the wrongful convictions have NOTHING to do with race is INSANE.
Exactly it's so ignorant
Me.
What people don't realise is you get institutionalised when you serve a long prison sentence so to them, being released to our world can be just as frightening as if we were to be sentenced into their world.
New difficultly setting
It would be so hard to not go back after getting a felony and being imprisoned
Otis Johnson’s story scares me. I had been stopped for the same exact reason in east Baltimore. I was probably like 12 or 13 and the officer explained there was a shooting nearby and that I fit the description: tall, black man wearing a tan jacket. I sat there for 10 min for him to realize that the man had a beard. The reason I was scared was because I has been sitting in front of my house for hours before I got up and ran into the office. I did NOT hear any gunshots or commotion. Very sus! I was just hoping that my child-like appearance would be a clear indication that i was not the suspect they needed.
I'm sorry that happened to you. You were just a little kid! That's so sad.
They let you run just because you were able to shave your beard in the meantime!? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

Maybe! Naw govt most definitely do.
This 14 year old kid in 1970 got sentenced to death for a crime that he didn’t commit 😩
Just because he was black
Where was this at?
I disagree that Otis Johnson was locked up in prison for 40 years because of wearing a tan jacket. The truth is that he was locked up for 40 years for wearing black skin

There are plenty of whites featured in this, let's just agree that it was bad police work.

Canadian legal system shafted a 14 y/o on a murder charge. 24 years into a life without parole sentence, dna evidence proved his innocence and he was released.

The black people being shafted is usually in the US, after apartheid was tossed out in South Africa it was stopped there but during apartheid it was even more common in South Africa.
its so depressing what excuses people come up with for racism
@@randomhuman1198 yup.
personally, I don't care about skin colour, politics, religion. If I choose not to associate with someone it's because of a personality conflict. People are people, some you can get along with and some you can't. skin colour, religion and politics have nothing to do with that yet are the most often used excuses.
@@jaquigreenlees same-i but i only disagree about politics a bit but thats only because people have made human rights and human decency political which is kinda disgusting

To sentence a teenager to life for simple robbery shows the evil nature of the judicial system. Many of the convicted were clearly innocent and overwhelmingly Afrikan/Black.
RACISM
I've counted more whites being prosecuted but sloppy police work and egos put these men away unfairly. The whites and blacks featured were more than likely poor and uneducated or undesirable in societies eyes so they were railroaded into bogus convictions.

The racism in the black cases is what people fighting for Equality should highlight in there arguments.

I will agree that those cases were undoubtedly racist. The thing Is none of those cases happened within the last 70 years, so if you’d like to travel back in time, maybe your case of systemic racism would hold some water...

What does this have to do with the video?
Tell me about it. I have been in prison for 40 years now for something everyone in my home town knows I did not commit. But because if my sentence were to be overturned, thousands of others would have to be released. My case started what has become know as the joiner issue. The first case in the history of the U. S. A were 1 trial was held for 3 cases that happen on different days in different places. I was 22 years old then. I'm 62 now with know relief in sight. That's what I get for being born Black in the U.S.A.
I hope you are alright now. God bless you

That 13 year old that later recanted should have been charged. Along with the cops who allegedly coerced him. And if he was on a school bus why did the other people on the bus never come forward?
How can that prisoner ever trust anyone after that? I reckon he doesn't even trust himself at all.

To be fair, releasing these people, when they are so old already, is really kinda cruel. Because as you pointed out, old people are treated worse than criminals these days. So "releasing" them, simply means taking away their housing, daily food, and free medical and dental services. Which is why the clever ones choose to stay inside.
I am amazed mad some of the lives these people have lived
