INNOCENT OR GUILTY, THERE’S NOTHING IN BETWEEN
Take a moment and think about that time when someone accused you of saying or doing something that you did not do AND no one will believe you! For those who have been wrongfully convicted and locked up behind the wall the emotional torture of knowing you are innocent is unimaginable. But if you are fortunate to connect with Mike Semanchik, Executive Director of the San Diego, California, Innocence Center, and he and his team research your case and confirm that you were in fact wrongly convicted, well then, you’re in great luck that you might finally be exonerated. Visit the Innocence Center dot org to learn more!

THE PEN IS TRULY MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD
To be a paid journalist writing about prison life and the barriers of justice impacted individuals is one of the two pillars that Ryan Moser represents. The other pillar is that Ryan also has the lived experience of incarceration. After 8 years in prison for a property crime due to his addiction, Ryan has emerged from behind the wall to use his lived experience and unique writing skills to advocate for all aspects of prison reform, including the needs of so many, post incarceration. It was while incarcerated that Ryan attended a writing class with Exchange for Change, a prison writing program. That program and its mentors led Ryan to his journalistic path and appearances on NPR’s All Things Considered, News Nation and CNN. As Ryan himself says, “I’m fighting for social justice through the medium of writing for changes.”
