A Personal Story of Wrongful Conviction & Exoneration - A Book by Gary Gauger I want to start off by saying thank you to Donna for this incredible book and for keeping me inspired.  There were so many things in his story, such as jail life, that are so true.  For example, the part where he talks about the banging on the cells all night long.  It's a sign of the times - the young people and the way then communicate and look at life today.  It's a total generation gap.  Every person that is wrongfully imprisoned, in spite of the system, has the same feelings of desiring justice.  There isn't a day that goes by, I am sure, that there isn't a man or a woman that is wrongfully imprisoned that doesn't wish that the cell doors will open up for them.  It's something that every person that has been wrongfully imprisoned goes through and at the same time hoping that the people that have put them there will be held accountable.  These events will change their lives forever - in their thoughts, words and how they view life.  There's not a day or night that goes by that I don't think of the people who are still wrongfully imprisoned and their feelings of hopelessess.  Those are the only people who truly understand wrongful imprisonment.  Thank God that Gary Gauger got his justice and was released.  For me that day still has not come.    NOW, FOR THE BOOK:  It took about four days of reading in the evening.  It really draws you in to his story - you can't help but be drawn in by the circumstances.  It is amazing how a persons actions or apparent lack of reactions can lead to their being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned.  In 1993, Gary Gauger was charged with the murder of his parents.  The police interrogated him for 18 hours, beginning just after he learned that his parents were dead.  In this book, Gary Gauger tells his story of how it happened and the nightmare he lived while the system had to come to the realization that an innocent man had been convicted and imprisoned.  This story shows how those in power refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong even when it is blatantly obvious that they are wrong.  My recommendations: 1.  Read this book.  2. To those who are wrongfully imprisoned or to the family members, know that there is always hope.  Never stop hoping and persevering.   I would compare wrongful imprisonment as being lost in a maze where you keep running into dead ends, but you have no choice but to keep going forward.  So never quit - keep speaking out, writing, and making your situation known to others.  Help is out there - never give up.
