Ricky Kidd

Vivid Expressions Ricky Kidd

In March of 1997, Ricky Kidd was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in one of Missouri's notorious maximum security prisons. The awful crime he was accused of was first degree murder. Even more awful was knowing that he was Innocent but still being sent to a place made for the guilty. For over twenty years Ricky has fought to prove his innocence, all while being shackled inside the dungeons of Injustice. He writes, "Few could ever handle their life being dismantled. Surrounded by total darkness without even so much as a candle. I was forced to become the light, illuminating everything in sight. I was forced to become the oxygen if ever I was to breathe again." The pieces released in this book serve as a small window into what it's like to be innocent. Some are simple, others are profoundly provocative... A journey readers can take without ever having to leave their chairs.
