The story follows Slepian on years of prison visits, court hearings, and street reporting that led to a series of powerful Dateline episodes and eventually to freedom for four other men and to an especially deep and lasting friendship with one of them, Jon-Adrian “JJ” Velazquez. From his cell in Sing Sing, JJ aided Slepian in his investigations until his own release in 2021 after decades in prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike Bryan Stevenson’s  Just Mercy ,  The Sing Sing Files  is a deeply personal account of wrongful imprisonment and the flaws in our justice system, and a powerful argument for reckoning and accountability. Slepian’s extraordinary book, at once painful and full of hope, shines a light on an injustice whose impact the nation has only begun to confront.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52891311997215,"sku":"A2780","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/ebook_1977_6d41df6dfc.jpg?v=1789633084","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/the-sing-sing-files-one-journalist-six-innocent-men-and-a-twenty-year-fight-for-justice","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
