3:39 am
>> reporter: no money. no suit of clothes. >> nothing, no. >> reporter: and that is where many states are failing the growing number of exonerated prisoners. it turns out in alabama, if ray hinton had committed murder and was released on parole, he would have been eligible for job training, housing assistance, and a bus ticket home. but most states offer no immediate assistance to the innocent whose convictions can be embarrassing because of misconduct or incompetence by police or prosecutors. >> you can't traumatize someone, try to kill someone, condemn someone lock someone down for 30 years and not feel some responsibility for what you have done. >> reporter: attorney brian stevenson worked on ray hinton's case for 16 years. stevenson started equal justice initiative, organizations overturning false convictions. >> they need support. economic, housing, medical, mental health care, they need to know that their victimization, their abuse, has been taken seriously. >> just absolutely unimaginable, i couldn't even explain the horror of it. >> ken ireland lost 21 years.

3:43 am
>> hopefully my testimony. >> in her spare time lobbying michigan's legislature for a compensation law. >> no amount of money can ever bring back everything that i have lost. >> no one can fail to see the injustice in these cases, but when it comes to compensation there are people watching this interview who are saying, you know, it was just bad luck. and, and we don't necessarily owe them for the life that they lost. >> this isn't luck. this was a system, this was actually our justice system. it was our tax dollars who paid for the police officers who arrested mr. hinton. our tax dollars paid for the judge and the prosecutor that prosecuted him, paid for the experts who got it wrong, paid to keep him on death row for 30 years for a crime he didn't commit. this has nothing to do with luck, but everything to do with the way we treat those who are vulnerable in our criminal justice system. >> see scott's full report on our web site. cbsnews.com. the overnight news will be right back. lief from heartburn with it neutralizes stomach acid and
