The Strongest LinkAuthor: Darrell Jones & 617 Media Group
Darrell Jones was wrongfully imprisoned for 32 years for a crime he had nothing to do with. Towards the end of his time behind bars, he got permission to start a first-of-its-kind inmate program called The Strongest Link where civic leaders would come talk to inmates and hear their stories. Now free from prison and completely exonerated, Darrell has returned to The Strongest Link project, now as a podcast for the public. Each month, guests ranging from activists to public officials, former inmates and family members to musical artists will join Darrell to talk about the issues surrounding criminal justice, mass incarceration and cycles of violence.
