Prison Release of Joseph Fears

Joseph Fears, 61, was released from an Ohio prison after 25 years serving time for a rape his recent DNA testing showed he never did. He was greeted by supporters on the joyous day of his prison release, March 13, 2009. DNA testing was scientifically available in 1989, but prisoners sometimes have trouble getting the test. 90% of all prisoners have a planned release date. Florida is making a difference by providing rehabilitation services for some of its prisoners.
