Death Row Exoneree Denied Compensation
rewdiazepam
A man in Louisiana spent 30 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
He had been on Death Row for 30 years.
Now he has terminal cancer----stage 4 lung cancer, to be exact.
He spent more than half his life in prison on a false conviction.
Guess what? He has been denied any compensation for the years he wrongly spent in prison in Louisiana.
Sound familiar?? This is like watching a horror movie with no end.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
Mississippi and Alabama are really terrible also.
But Florida is really an awful state to serve time. The prisons are not so bad or dirty or outdated, but their attitude toward offenders just really upsets me. And for sex offenders or registrants, Florida is like Kryptonite to Superman.
The entire Bible Belt is mostly a bunch of rednecks and their prison systems are equally as bad.
The best prison systems in the United States are in the New England states. They are more progressive and are not as apt to use the "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" attitude toward people in prison.

So glad you were able to help with the classification process. The two weeks I worked in the prison system taught me just how easy it is to error administratively on this process.
Please know that I do feel the utmost compassion... I'm just trying to look at the whole picture.... It's horrific what this man has gone through... And it's terrible what he's continuing to go through
I think the people in the system NEED to be held accountable when grave injustices have been made and often made intentionally... I just don't know how they will compensate if someone has been involved in the crime....It sux... The punishment surely didn't fit the crime for this poor soul... Perhaps that's what the argument should be... Very sad
