Gary Tyler (1958-…) was wrongfully convicted of murder during a fight over desegregation as a teen. Once the youngest person on death row, legal efforts eventually saw him released in 2016. During his time in Angola, he took up quilting; the humanity behind prison life is a frequent topic of his appliqué quilts
