David Milgaard was a troubled kid, and he got into lots of trouble. Unfortunately, that made it easy for the Saskatoon police to brand him as a murderer. At seventeen, David Milgaard was arrested, jailed, and convicted for the rape and murder of a young nursing assistant, Gail Miller. He was sent to adult prison for life. Throughout his twenty-three years in prison, David maintained that he was innocent and refused to admit to the crime, even though it meant he was never granted parole. Finally, through the incredible determination of his mother and new lawyers who believed in him, David was released and proven not guilty. Astonishingly, in hindsight the real murderer was obvious from the start. This is the true story of how bad decisions, tunnel vision, poor representation, and outright lying and coercion by those within the justice system caused a tragic miscarriage of justice. It also shows that wrongs can be righted and amends made. [Fry Reading Level - 4.3

In 1961, young, black, eighth-grade dropout Wilbert Rideau despaired of his small-town future in the segregated deep south of America. He set out to rob the local bank and after a bungled robbery he killed the bank teller, a fifty-year-old white female. He was arrested and gave a full confession. When we meet Rideau he has just been sentenced to death row, from where he embarks on an extraordinary journey. He is imprisoned at Angola, the most violent prison in America, where brutality, sexual slavery and local politics confine prisoners in ways that bars alone cannot. Yet Rideau breaks through all this and finds hope and meaning, becoming editor of the prison magazine, going on to win national journalism awards. Full of gritty realism and potent in its evocation of a life condemned, Rideau goes far beyond the traditional prison memoir and reveals an emotionally wrought and magical conclusion to his forty-four years in prison.

At twenty-five, Rob Baltovich lost the love of his life, Elizabeth Bain. That was bad enough. Then he was arrested, jailed, sent to trial for murder, convicted, and sent to prison -- for life. Throughout his years in prison, Rob maintained that he was innocent, refusing to admit to a crime he didn't commit. The result was he was never granted parole. Finally, his luck began to turn when he hired new lawyers who believed in him. Not only did they get Rob acquitted, they also made a strong case that the real murderer was the infamous serial killer Paul Bernardo. Author Jeff Mitchell tells much of the story in Baltovich's own words. In this book, young readers will discover how tthis tragic miscarriage of justice happened -- and how the legal system can right its own wrongs when lawyers and judges are willing to re-examine a case with fresh eyes.

On September 30, 2003, Calvin was declared innocent and set free from Angola State Prison, after serving 22 years for a crime he did not commit. Like many other exonerees, Calvin experienced a new world that was not open to him. Hitting the streets without housing, money, or a change of clothes, exonerees across America are released only to fend for themselves. In the tradition of Studs Terkel's oral histories, this book collects the voices and stories of the exonerees for whom life — inside and out — is forever framed by extraordinary injustice

When a black teen was murdered in a Sydney, Cape Breton park late one night, his young companion, Donald Marshall Jr., became a prime suspect. Sydney police coached two teens to testify against Donald which helped convict him of a murder he did not commit. He spent 11 years in prison until he finally got a lucky break. Not only was he eventually acquitted of the crime, but a royal commission inquiry into his wrongful conviction found that a non-aboriginal youth would not have been convicted in the first place. Donald became a First Nations activist and later won a landmark court case in favour of native fishing rights. He was often referred to as the "reluctant hero" of the Mi'kmaq community.

"Through the compelling stories of Black women who have been affected by racism, persistent poverty, and class inequality, Beth Richie shows that Black women in marginalized communities are uniquely at risk of battering, rape, sexual harassment, stalking and incest, and the extent of that violence is minimized--at best--and frequently ignored. Arrested Justice brings issues of sexuality, class, age, and criminalization into focus alongside questions of public policy and gender violence, resulting in a compelling critique, a passionate re-framing of stories, and a call to action for change." -- From back of book.

"I was so afraid I became braver than I had ever been." At 21, Herman Atkins was convicted of raping a woman he had never met, in a town he had never visited. Twelve years later, he was set free. In this gripping memoir, we are plunged into the nightmare of a justice system gone awry. What would you do if you were imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit? And if you were exonerated at last, how would you measure what you had lost? For Atkins, these were the realities he had to face. Raised by a police officer, Atkins moves from shock at the failure of institutions he'd trusted, to rage and hopelessness. He spends more than a decade in some of California's most notorious prisons. He learns the rules of survival in a land of violence, and battles to maintain his strength and spirit. And then, thanks to new DNA evidence, Atkins is proven innocent . . . and released into a world where he no longer seems to belong. Exoneration is not a neat, happy ending--it is only a beginning, again. While he was locked up, Atkins missed the advent of cell phones and the Internet, the decline of his mother, and his sons' childhood. Accustomed to living in constant watchfulness, he struggles to relearn trust. In this powerful book, we see how a single injustice is compounded, the injury extending to families and communities, and the aftershocks felt for years to come. But from the rubble of a ruined life, Herman Atkins builds a bridge to the future, enrolling in college at age 34 and earning both an associate and a bachelor's degree. As he adjusts to life as a free man, makes it to law school, and works to change from within the system that wronged him, readers will witness a triumph of determination and compassion. Alternately brutal and hopeful, shocking and inspiring, Wrongfully Convicted is as important as it is unforgettable.
