John Grisham’s new exposé on wrongful convictions

John Grisham’s widely celebrated legal thrillers have long been cultural touchstones — but did you know his real-life passion for justice has inspired him to work with organizations that overturn wrongful convictions?

His 2006 nonfiction book, The Innocent Man, drew critical attention to wrongful convictions and launched a major documentary series on Netflix. Now, Grisham is building on that effort with a new nonfiction book, Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions.

Written with criminal justice advocate Jim McCloskey, Framed details ten hard-fought, true-life battles for exoneration, illuminating the corruption, racism, and junk science that have landed innocent Americans behind bars. After reading Framed, you’ll never look at the justice system the same way again.
