Tested: How Twelve Wrongly Imprisoned Men Held Onto Hope

Wrongly convicted inmates of the Dallas prison system tell their stories of survival and exoneration through personal interviews in this revealing book.

Advances in DNA technology have revolutionized how criminals are prosecuted, but it has also brought a ray of hope to those serving time for crimes they never committed. Across the country, DNA testing is exonerating wrongfully convicted and imprisoned people—and nowhere more so than in Dallas, Texas.

In Tested, authors Peyton and Dorothy Budd dramatically reveal how these men kept their hope, their faith, and their sanity. Through a series of personal interviews, these men share the secrets of what sustained them behind bars. Whether through dreams or hustle, music or words, these men found what they needed to survive. Their stories illuminate both the failures of the justice system and the resilience of the human spirit.
