Anthony Ray Hinton

Anthony Ray Hinton‘s memoir The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row (2018) is an extraordinary journey through the traumas of imprisonment, the loss of freedom, and the power of hope.

On April 3, 2015,  Anthony walked out of the Jefferson County Jail a free man after 30 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. He was one of the longest serving death row prisoners in Alabama history. He is also among the longest serving condemned prisoners to be freed after presenting evidence of innocence.
