Embracing Freedom and Resilience After Injustice

Malcolm Alexander and Frederick Clay both spent decades in prison for crimes they didn't commit. Both were eventually exonerated and released.

Clay has received compensation from the state of Massachusetts, but Alexander is still battling the state of Louisiana in court.

We hear from the two men about what it's like to fight for compensation for their wrongful convictions — and why that fight is about more than just the money.
