In April 2016, Gary Tyler was finally released from Louisiana State Prison (ANGOLA) after serving 41 years for a crime of murder he did not commit. In October 1974, he was 16 yrs old, charged with 1st Degree Murder, tried as an adult, convicted and automatically sentenced to be executed in LA Electric Chair. He was the youngest person on Death Row in the United States at the time and spent 8 years in solitary confinement. In 1981, a federal appeals court said that Tyler was "denied a fundamentally fair trial", but refused to order a new trial for him. While his death sentence was deemed unconstitutional and overturned, he remained unjustly in prison for 4 decades.

All events are free and open to the public.
