 Six Innocent Men\, and a Twenty-Year Fight for Justice by Dan Slepian (240
  p.)\n\nIn 2002\, Dan Slepian\, a veteran producer for NBC’s Dateline\, re
 ceived a tip from a Bronx homicide detective that two men were serving twe
 nty-five years to life in prison for a 1990 murder they did not commit.\n
 \nHaunted by what the detective had told him\, Slepian began an investigat
 ion of the case that eventually resulted in freedom for the two men and la
 unched Slepian on a two-decade personal and professional journey into a de
 eply flawed justice system fiercely resistant to rectifying―or even acknow
 ledging―its mistakes and their consequences.\n\nThe Sing Sing Files: One J
 ournalist\, Six Innocent Men\, and a Twenty-Year Fight for Justice is Slep
 ian’s account of challenging that system. The story follows Slepian on yea
 rs of prison visits\, court hearings\, and street reporting that led to a 
 series of powerful Dateline episodes and eventually to freedom for four ot
 her 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 pris
 on.\n\nLike Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy\, The Sing Sing Files is a deeply
  personal account of wrongful imprisonment and the flaws in our justice sy
 stem\, 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.\n
