There are an estimated 12,000 men and women in american prisons today who are innocent. BELIEVE IT OR NOT. A recent show on NBC Dateline called "In the dead of night" backs up this estimation. And there are many more. In your wildest dreams you cannot know how these people feel. Many of them are a little slow and they need help.

Would I buy the book on the basis you have outlined? No. Not unless the book was a good read. If you truly want to help the 12,000 men and women who are innocently imprisoned, you can begin fund raising, with ALL of the funding going to help these persons, rather than trying to sell a book and using the profits. A foundation to help bring justice to those unjustly accused would have legitimacy. The efforts of a single person, with the best intentions in the world, isn't going to be as effective.

I buy a book because of its content, not for its causes.
While 12,000 is probably accurate, it is relatively small since between 1-2 million people are currently in prison in the USA.
The problem with Dateline's estimate is that they can't identify the 12,000 people. It is only an estimate.
Most people don't know this..99% of the cases plead guilty.
I always support fixing injustice. It is not always that easy to determine where the injustice is.
