26 Years Wrongly on Death Row: Help Sherwood Brown Rebuild

On August 24, 2025, Sherwood Brown will celebrate four years of freedom following 26 years of wrongful incarceration on death row in one of the worst prisons in the United States - Parchman Farm in Mississippi.

Even after he was exonerated, the state still held him several years while they tried to build a case against him. With no apology and still no compensation, due to medical conditions resulting from his decades of wrongful incarceration, he is unable to work a full time job. Sherwood is trying to make ends meet, and he invites your support.

BACKGROUND

Sherwood Brown has been exon­er­at­ed of the charges that sent him to death row in Mississippi in 1995 for a triple mur­der he did not com­mit. On August 24, 2021, DeSoto County Circuit Court Judge Jimmy McClure grant­ed a pros­e­cu­tion motion to dis­miss charges against Brown, who was released lat­er that day after hav­ing spent 26 years on the state’s death row or fac­ing the prospects of a capital retrial.
