ABOUT

No one believed them. Now, they have a podcast.

These people were convicted of crimes — crimes they never committed. This is what happened next, to them and the people they left behind. Now, they're free to tell their stories — and so are their children, their parents, their lawyers. Everyone who lived through it, from arrest to exoneration.

Mass Exoneration: The Podcast

​Mass Exoneration is a new podcast airing September 2018. In our first season, we tell the stories of Massachusetts men who spent decades in prison for crimes they didn't commit. We sit down across from the former prisoners, their lawyers, and their children, and let their voices be heard.

From a black teenager arrested for a taxicab murder, to a Puerto Rican man found screaming outside a burning building, to a gay childcare worker scapegoated by a small town, these are stories of criminal justice gone horribly wrong — for the wrongly accused and those who loved them.
