Lawrence McKinney spent more than 31 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. After DNA evidence finally proved his innocence, he walked out of prison with only $75 and no identification, unable to cash the check for three long months. Despite losing over three decades of his life, McKinney faced enormous challenges rebuilding from nothing—no home, no job, no record of existence.

Eventually, with the help of advocates and his faith community, he fought for recognition and compensation from the state of Tennessee, which initially denied his request for restitution. His story highlights a painful truth: freedom without support isn’t justice. McKinney’s perseverance became a symbol of the urgent need for fair compensation, reentry resources, and systemic reform for the wrongfully convicted. 🕊️
