When Tyra Patterson left prison after 23 years, she kissed the Ohio ground. When Patterson was 19 years old, she was imprisoned for a robbery and murder she has always sworn she didn't commit. And while Patterson's convictions have not been overturned, she's been making a difference in the lives of others while she works to clear her name. CNN reports Patterson dropped out of school at age 11 due to homelessness. While in prison, she became a GED tutor, a paralegal, and a licensed steam engineer. Patterson was surprised with an honorary bachelor's degree from the Art Academy of Cincinnati on October 31 after giving the graduates a commencement speech.

This car carried Jacqueline Sauvage away from the Reau Prison, where she had been confined for the past 4 years. The 69-year-old French woman was convicted to 10 years in prison in 2012 after shooting her alcoholic and abusive husband three times in the back with his own hunting rifle the day after their son hanged himself. Their three daughters had testified that their father had physically and sexually abused them for years and the court heard testimony that Ms Sauvage had endured over 40 years of abuse at the hands of her former husband. French President Francois Hollande commuted part of Ms Sauvage's sentence earlier this year after a petition demanding a pardon for the abuse victim gathered over 400,000 signatures. He granted her a full pardon earlier today, succumbing to pressure from the public and from French celebrities.
