What happens to wrongly accused inmates, exonerated by DNA testing, after the media spotlight turns elsewhere? FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel examines the many social, psychological, and economic challenges facing exonerated inmates, most of whom re-enter society with no transitional assistance. Cases of several exonerated inmates and the hurdles they face illustrate efforts to pass laws allowing the wrongfully convicted to sue for compensation.
