Innocent from the beginning, forgiving to the end
Rick Walker's story
According to calendars hung on a cell wall, it took twelve and a half years for an innocent man to be freed from a prison system he should never have entered. In Rick Walker's heart, though, he was free all along.
He was free of guilt. He hadn't murdered Lisa Hopewell, a former girlfriend.
Gradually, he gained freedom from his fears of violent inmates and abusive guards—not an easy thing to gain in prisons such as San Quentin and Pelican Bay.
