So I try to carry some water for those issues, because you know, at The End Of The Day people are sent to prison as punishment if you're guilty. Thank you so much for coming on Today and sharing your story. I'm not going to lie- and it makes me feel blessed that I've never been through that situation.
Imagine being just 17 and finding yourself wrongfully convicted of a heinous crime you didn’t commit. That’s the nightmare Jeffrey Deskovic lived through. In this gripping episode of 'The Rope of Hope', hosted by Kimberlee Plezia, Jeffrey opens up about his harrowing experience with the justice system, his years behind bars, and the journey to exoneration through DNA evidence. But Jeffrey’s story doesn’t end with his release.
Instead of letting bitterness consume him, he turned his ordeal into a mission to help others. Now an ardent advocate for prison reform, Jeffrey shares how he supports those who have been wrongfully convicted, providing them with legal aid and emotional support through his foundation. This episode is a deep dive into the flaws of the justice system, the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of advocacy.
Whether you’re interested in criminal justice, personal stories of triumph, or just need a dose of inspiration, Jeffrey’s tale will leave you reflecting on the importance of compassion and mental health support.
