There is a grisly murder in your neighborhood. You stand outside with your neighbors and watch, or maybe you peek out your curtains. Hours pass, then days, maybe years. Then one day there is a knock at your door and the police take you in for questioning. Do you remember what happened? Do you have an alibi? Can you take countless hours of interrogation without breaking?
This can happen to you. And it happens to more people than you think.

Once out, they faced a new struggle: getting back to living after losing so many years behind bars.
