Hi there,

Dr. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

Executive director of the “International Association in Defense of the Wrongly Convicted”. In the 60s Carter was a dynamic prizefighter. His promising boxing career was cut short when, just before he was set to fight for the world heavyweight title, he was wrongfully convicted of killing three people and sentenced to three consecutive life sentences. He spent almost two decades in prison before finally being exonerated.
