FALLOUT
(60 minutes)
Wrenched from their families, homes and communities, the wrongfully convicted suffer many forms of psychological trauma as a result of their imprisonment. Their problems are exacerbated upon release, where they struggle to reintegrate into society, reclaim normality, and carve out a stable existence. They return only to face poverty, employment discrimination, societal discrimination, alcohol and substance abuse, and broken relationships. The stigma of prison hovers over an innocent person almost as much as the guilty.
