Unfinished Justice: Educational Barriers in the Lives of the Wrongfully Convicted

What happens after innocence is declared-but opportunity remains denied? Unfinished Justice exposes the hidden barriers exonerees face when seeking higher education. Through powerful narratives and a groundbreaking qualitative study, Dr. Darry Carpenter reveals how policies rooted in stigma continue to block access to learning, healing, and reintegration. This book challenges educators, policymakers, and reformers to confront the systemic neglect of the wrongly convicted and reimagine education as a right-not a reward.
