North Carolina Prisons
Former inmates freed after spending up to six years in federal prison even though they were "Legally innocent" are coming home with less help than the government typically provides the guilty after they are released. Judges in North Carolina have ordered the government to release at least 17 prisoners following a USA TODAY investigation that identified 60 people incarcerated for gun possession even though a federal court later determined that they had not committed a federal crime.
