Raven Rollins sits down with civil rights attorney, advocate, and author Jarrett Adams for a powerful conversation surrounding wrongful conviction, resilience, justice, and storytelling through lived experience.

At just seventeen years old, Jarrett Adams was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to prison for a crime he did not commit. After spending nearly a decade incarcerated, he was eventually exonerated — a journey that would ultimately lead him to become a civil rights attorney fighting for others impacted by systemic injustice.

The discussion centers around his memoir, “Redeeming Justice,” which Jarrett also narrates in audiobook form, offering listeners an intensely personal perspective on survival, identity, incarceration, and rebuilding life after exoneration.

We also discuss some of Adams cases that hail from Ada, Oklahoma - that of Garrett Peterson and Anthony Mealy.
