In today's episode Alice is joined by the amazing Nick Yarris.
Nick is a writer and a speaker, he has a documentary of his story on Netflix called 'The Fear of 13', where he shares his own story of being wrongly imprisoned on death row for 22 years for the murder and rape of a woman he had never even met.
He fights for other wrongly incarcerated prisoners on death row to see them freed and recently after the podcast was released, won a long battle he talks about on there, to see his friend Walter Ogrod, whom he met on death row, finally be released as he was also innocent.
In this episode we talked all about Nick's story of how he got to be on death row, how he managed to eventually prove his innocence, how he made sense of spirituality, how he held onto love and kindness on death row where he was being treated with such inhumane hate and how used neuroplasticity and kindness to himself and others, to heal from all the trauma he went through.

He is the author of the autobiography Seven Days to Live My Life (2008). He has also published books called The Kindness Approach (2017),My Journey Through Her Eyes (2017) and Monsters and Madmen (2018).
