A man wrongfully incarcerated for over two decades due to a coerced confession, Jerome Dixon shares his harrowing story of enduring 25 hours of police interrogation without legal representation, resulting in a life-altering prison sentence at just 17. Despite his wrongful conviction, Jerome's journey of self-discovery, resilience, and advocacy shines through as he recounts how he survived 21 years behind bars and now champions juvenile justice reform. This conversation dives into the flaws of the criminal justice system, the power of personal transformation, and the urgent need for legislative change.

Jerome Dixon is a justice reform advocate and vice-chairman of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition. Wrongfully imprisoned for 21 years, Jerome now dedicates his life to ensuring juveniles' rights in police interrogations.
