Nick Yarris, who spent 22 years on death row in Pennsylvania for a murder he did not commit, has some advice to people who are now facing the anxiety of self-isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Create structure: Get up in the morning and plan your day,” Yarris told Oscar-nominated filmmaker Jessica Sanders in a newly posted video. “Create projects for yourself. You need to have a structured time because if you don’t you’re going to go through depression.”
Yarris, who was released from prison in 2004 after DNA testing cleared him of the 1981 rape and murder of Linda Craig, was one of the subjects of Sanders’ Sundance-winning 2005 documentary “After Innocence.”
