The Sun does Shine: How I found Life and Freedom on Death Row

by Anthony Ray Hinton

Twenty-nine-year-old Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama in 1985. He believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free, but the system of justice for a poor black man in the American south sentenced him to death. Hinton’s first three years on death row filled him with anger and despair, but he soon came to accept his fate and, in doing so, resolved to survive. With the help of a civil rights attorney, Hinton won his release in 2015, after 27 years and witnessing the death of 54 fellow inmates.
