Life Without Parole at Sixteen – Lance Felder’s Journey to Advocacy

At sixteen, Lance Felder was convicted of a 1995 murder and sentenced to life without parole—despite no physical evidence and a witness who initially failed to identify him. He was placed in solitary confinement, shipped seven hours from home to SCI Albion, and spent fourteen years incarcerated while appeals were denied. Lance describes how faith taught him patience, how a later confession by the real perpetrator changed his case, and what reentry looked like after release—rebuilding basics like a birth certificate and Social Security number. Now an advocate with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project community, he works for policy change and compensation for the wrongfully convicted. This conversation traces his journey from a teenager with a life sentence to a determined voice for reform.

“Exonerated: The Cost of Wrongful Conviction” is brought to you by Marrone Law Firm and presented by WURD in partnership with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project.
