  • Darrell Jones on Freedom After 32 Years Behind Bars
    May 14 2019

    In December 2017, Darrell "Diamond" Jones took his first breath as a free man in 32 years. In 1985, he was convicted of a crime he says he didn't commit. He could have pled guilty for a shorter sentence, but he refused to confess guilt for something he knows he didn't do. We talked to him about surviving a dangerous prison and committing his life to making sure other innocent men end up in jail like he did.

    You wouldn't be hearing Darrell's story without reporting from WBUR and the New England Center for Investigative Reporting.
