Video of Jonathan Irons being released after 23 years of wrongful imprisonment, starting at age *16*🥲 He's a great guy who is going to make a big difference!
WNBA star Maya Moore sat out the entire season last year and helped overturn the conviction of Jonathan Irons, who was serving a 50-year prison sentence.
He was finally released today.

Sherrill Roland was wrongfully convicted during his MFA at UNC-Greensboro. Upon release, he wore his jumpsuit to school in a performance entitled The @JumpsuitProject.
His work for the fellowship will center around value of time lost and disruption caused by incarceration.

Sherrill: “I’m hoping that @JumpsuitProject could help other individuals. When I entered the courtroom, I thought I knew the game but I didn’t bring the right tools.”

Sherrill: “@JumpsuitProject is for me, but I don’t like to wear the orange jumpsuit. But as long as I get invited to perform, then I’ll perform. Until other people with other similar stories can tell their own story, I’ll continue with this project.”

Sherrill: “[Society has] made it so that we don’t talk about the experience of incarceration, but @JumpsuitProject has shown that it is a valuable experience and perspective out in the world.”
