Reverse Wrongful Convictions

- Mission:
- Bringing justice to prisoners who have suffered wrongful convictions and other miscarriages of justice
- Founder:

, Chicago, IL
- Description:
- Currently, the US justice system maintains a failure rate of at least 5%, meaning that it is possible 100,000 Americans are wrongly imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. We stand in solidarity with the thousands of people who have suffered miscarriages of justice at the hands of an imprecise system, and demand that all wrongful convictions be investigated and overturned.

Imagine yourself wrongfully convicted and thrown into prison with hardcore sociopaths such as murderers. How would you fare, and how would you feel? You'd be almost guaranteed to come out a different person, not for the better! In these times when no reason is necessary in order for someone to be apprehended and/or imprisoned, everyone needs to care about an issue which may affect us personally or impact someone we know. To paraphrase, the only thing necessary for the presence of evil is for good people to do nothing. FREE THE BLAMELESS.

My message is quite clear as well as staggeringly honest. Not only is reversing wrongful convictions right and good, but if people turn away from this terrible mlajustice, than nothing gets solved or overturned, and this problem only grows bigger and bigger.
I know a very good friend, MILO ROSE, in Florida's Union Correctional Institution in Raiford who has been anxiously languishing and sitting in Death Row for 23 years of his life which he cannot win back, but he truly is innocent. He has asked me to co-author his story as an author who has soon to publiicise eleven books, and may end up winning the PULITZER PRIZE in 2008 for one in the Vatican. A powerful advocate for the condemned HUMAN BEINGS among us, as well as for all in peril, this dying religious leader, author, and PACIFIST LEADER, wants nothing more than to have not only those innocent lives saved from this hideous fate, but everyone. When you support this apostacy, or rebellion against God, you are supporting SATAN'S work, and keeping his 'thorne" upon the earth-the electric chair.
It is very, very hard on the soul and the mind of a person who loses someone they know and love to devices of barbarism which exemplify their very creator-MAN, and his desire to covet his hate and malignent and enfeebled feelings of vendetta, which certainly does not create anything but further discordency and only proving that man is more of a sinner and a follower of his/her wayward impulses than he ever suspected.
