Motivated by his own experiences, Jeff is a first-person advocate for justice reform, policy changes, and the wrongfully convicted. His hard work and dedication have resulted in 11 overturned convictions and has successfully pushed for 8 laws to be passed. In today’s episode we will look at a normal that’s long been accepted, but has seen a growing demand for reform in recent years: the justice system.
Topics covered:
- Disingenuous police interrogation tactics that result in coerced, faulty confessions
- Navigating a system full of built-in biases that set many people up to fail
- Jeff shares his story of wrongful conviction and his journey toward advocacy, legal work, and founding of his own organization to assist the wrongfully convicted
- Why you shouldn’t shirk jury duty
- Punitive imprisonment vs rehabilitation, and the changes needed within prisons to create a better world
