"The Innocents: Headshots" exhibit will be on display at Roosevelt’s Gage Gallery until Oct. 31.
Photographer Taryn Simon took portraits of former inmates from across the country.
The pictures are accompanied by Simon’s interviews with them and case files from the Innocence Project.
A Wrongful Convictions lecture series is being held during the exhibition. Speakers include staff from Northwestern University’s Center on Wrongful Convictions and several wrongfully convicted people, including former Death Row inmates.
