"Some of those undoubtedly committed the crime but were released in error. " I doubt that seriously. The state HATES to admit it made an error, and will not release someone it's convicted unless there is absolutely, incontrovertibly, no doubt they are innocent. I'd say there are still far many more innocent people in prison without the evidence available to release them. Especially people of color who were imprisoned in the south. Don't forget, we have the largest population of imprisoned people per capita of any country on Earth. It was just a couple of years ago that Illinois found like over 100 prisoners had been falsely incarcerated and/or executed. Yet, once again, the usual cheerleaders claim we have the best justice system in the world........bar none.
