I had the privilege of interviewing Jimmy Dennis on April 1st of 2019, shortly after he was released from death row in Pennsylvania.

He served 25 and a half years and had two execution dates actually scheduled.

I mean, I'm talking about they asked him what his last meal was going to be, where he wanted his remains to be taken.

It's unbelievable. 25 and a half years, he lived in a tiny cell on death row with the lights on. They never turned them off.

And yet, he came out joyful with a bounce in his step, ready to get back, you know, as much as he could of what he had lost.

And here's the incredible thing. He was a singer when he was wrongfully arrested and was 18 years old.

He was, you know, on the verge of getting a record deal with his group. And the good news is that a few months ago, he made his onstage singing debut in New York City at the Church of Rock and Roll event at Gospel.

He's saying, Hallelujah. And he killed it. I got to be honest with you.

Now, he's in the process of launching a dog-growing business with his wife. The business plan is set. And I think they're going to make it a real success.

He's also been the subject of the first, now this video documentary of the Rolfing Corp. podcast. And it is a beautiful, beautiful piece.

He's a beautiful, beautiful guy. And, Jimmy, if you're listening, I hope you're smiling and sleeping well too, because you deserve nothing but the best of everything.

And we're here to share your story. Please sit back and listen to Jimmy Dennis.

This call is from a correction facility and is subject to monitoring and recording.

If I didn't hear a phone, I could tell you exactly 11,000, 945 pages. The 11,545 pages I've been in here. And it hasn't been easy.

I was 100 years. I said, man, I'm a kid. I didn't do anything. You know? And that was real painful, man.

You know, because my life was discarded as if I was a piece of trash or something. You know, 100 years. And I had dreams. I wanted to do things.

I wouldn't commit in crimes. You know? That was a very good young man.

That is what happens in so many cases. The cops have a hunch because they're so smart at the scene, they have a hunch.

And once they act on that hunch, they sort of develop tunnel vision. And they take off marching in the wrong direction. And that happens in so many of these wrongful convictions.

They open the cell door and I walk downstairs. And I actually walk downstairs to be outside. It felt very strange to be like I said, to be walking without no shackles on my feet.

I thought it was a dream, but then again, it wasn't a dream.

This is wrongful conviction.
