A new study has found that after watching a docudrama about the efforts to free a wrongly convicted prisoner on death row, people were more empathetic toward formerly incarcerated people and supportive of criminal justice reform.

The research, led by a team of Stanford psychologists, was published Oct. 21 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .

The psychologists also found that their intervention works regardless of the storyteller's race.

It had the same effect regardless of people's political orientation.

"When people experience detailed personal narratives it opens their mind and heart to the people telling those narratives," said Jamil Zaki .
