The Center for Behavioral Health and Justice at the Wayne State University School of Social Work, in partnership with Humanity for Prisoners (HFP) presents Wronged: The Maurice Carter Story.
Directed by award-winning producer, Nate Roels, the film chronicles the harrowing journey of Maurice Carter, a man whose life was forever altered by a wrongful conviction, and the inception of Humanity for Prisoners.
In 1976, in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Carter was wrongfully convicted of shooting an off-duty police officer. For 29 years, Maurice endured the despair of incarceration for a crime he did not commit. In the wake of Maurice's unjust suffering, Doug Tjapkes founded Humanity for Prisoners in 2001, a groundbreaking organization dedicated to supporting prisoners and their families in navigating the challenges of incarceration.
The film screening will be followed by a brief Q&A session with HFP President Mark Hartman.
