He was released. He is not guilty of this crime. It was his "girlfriend". This movie twisted the facts way out of line with what really happened. What happened here is a terrible tragedy, for the murder victims and the victim of false imprisonment. This man served 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. While in prison, Tom established marriage counseling for inmates and their spouses, coordinated a fund-raiser for the Ronald McDonald House, led Bible studies and helped establish a half-way house for inmates' spouses. If you want to know the true story, read the book, Caged Bird by Dave Racer. Tom Bird and Dave Racer have also co-authored a book, "In the Shadow of Joseph," which was released June 7 2004. Kothe said the book features 27 letters from Bird discussing his daily life in prison.
