24/7 Wrongfully Convicted, Rightfully Released Jonathan Fleming

In 2014, after serving 24 years, 7 months, and 20 days for a crime he did not commit, Jonathan Fleming was released from prison and began his life as a free man. He was released with a few dollars in his pocket and limited resources to help him reintegrate into society. With the help of his supporters, family, and friends, he was able to find success but the struggle to survive gave him a purpose. He created the Jonathan Fleming Foundation to raise awareness about the struggles exonerees face and to provide supportive programs to help them get on their feet. Jonathan has used his platform to expose the epidemic of wrongful conviction in the American judicial system and to garner support for those affected by it. He resolves the time he spent in prison wasn't for him, but so he could become a spokesperson for the wrongfully convicted. With his help, others can gather the pieces of their lives and lay the foundation for a positive future.
