Journalist Reuven Fenton has documented 10 stories of people wrongfully imprisoned for his new book, "Stolen Years." In the introduction, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter writes, "Take it from me, prison is suffering, and prison without justice is crucifixion."

One of the stories in the book is about a young man in Louisville, wrongfully accused of committing murder. He spent 13 years in prison for something he didn't do, and now he struggles with life in the aftermath.

Fenton recently spoke with WFPL's James Bickers about that story, and about the larger issue of wrongful imprisonment.
