The National Registry of Exonerations, an online archive of all known exonerations in the United States, is a collaboration of three universities and housed in the Newkirk Center for Science & Society in the School of Social Ecology. One Social Ecology faculty member and 3 academic staff are on the staff of the Registry. The Registry now lists more than 3,000 people who have been exonerated of crimes since 1989. Some exonerees have begun identifying themselves by their number on the list--their "exoneree number"--a creative way of choosing how to identify themselves after years, and sometimes decades, of being identified by prisoner numbers. In this video, four exonerees discuss their experiences of wrongful conviction and incarceration and what being listed on the Registry means to them.
