"Some inmates laughed at me before they were about to be released. They said I'm a fool, they said if I had just pleaded guilty back then, I would've been out long ago. But I didn't rape those people."
"Since his first day in prison, Zheng has devoted himself to a single task: clearing his name and pleading for his release."
Haiguang Zheng, incarcerated for 30 years, prepares for a visit from the New York Chinese Prison Ministry. He reflects on his wrongful conviction and the challenges he faced. Despite being mocked by other inmates for not pleading guilty, Zheng maintains his innocence regarding the charges against him. He has dedicated his time in prison to clearing his name and learning English, a skill he struggled with since his arrival in the U.S. in 1993. His story highlights the plight of long-incarcerated undocumented Chinese inmates seeking justice.
