In this episode of Beyond the Cell, we sit down with Jerome Blake, a inmate who spent 15 years behind bars — and now fights to change the very system that incarcerated him. From growing up in a cycle of poverty and crime to becoming a leading voice in criminal justice reform, Jerome shares his journey of transformation, education, and advocacy.

We discuss:

  • The pivotal moment that sparked Jerom's change behind bars
  • His experience with prison education programs
  • The challenges of reentry after release
  • How he now works with lawmakers to influence policy
  • Why he believes redemption is possible for anyone

This is a story of resilience, accountability, and using a second chance to create lasting change.
