How many readers would give up their freedom for $50,000 per year?
They should get $50,000 per year for life, still less than the average Illinois pension. Illinois prisons are not nice places, and you have lousy neighbors. Rape is a common place thing in prison, and nothing is ever done about it.

People found innocent due to the Innocence Project, a cabal well known coast to coast for getting criminals sprung on the smallest of technicalities? Watch the episode of Joe Rogan when one of these libtards barely suppressed his laughter after one of his pet project felons killed again after he got him out of prison. And it’s no surprise Slaughter is all in on this- he’s the Marxist idiot that proposed an end to driver’s licenses, license plates on cars and auto insurance.

According to the democrats and their lapdog supreme court, they are all wrongfully convicted.

The exoneration scam industry has piles of cash to line the pockets of Illinois political animals. Well-monikered imbecile Justin-time Slaughter is simply ensuring the gravy train is sped up and expanded.

This is happening right under our noses, kids.
